On November 5, 2017, in Shanghai, I had a brown-headed peony parrot at home, which was exactly two, and then the male bird bit off the cage and escaped from prison, and the two small male birds were killed. So I've been keeping this one for almost three years, and this year I laid two bird eggs. As shown in the previous picture, a bird cage and a bird nest are a bird (note that the bird cage is the two eggs it once laid). Then just yesterday, things changed! Here comes a guest.....
A friend's family also had two brown-headed peonies, but one died in a fight a while ago. The remaining one may be called all day because of loneliness, and my friend said that my family happens to be one, so it is better to give it to me. On Saturday, the little guy came, supposedly a male bird. Anyway, when I put it in the cage, I couldn't tell which one was just my family's and which one was sent. In view of the fact that my family has died before the new arrival, and still does not allow the new arrival to enter the nest, I deliberately installed a coconut shell bird nest, a bird and a nest, so it is always OK!
But it turned out that I was wrong, and my family's (hereinafter referred to as the old bird) quickly occupied the new nest, and there was no outside at all. The new bird (hereinafter referred to as the new bird), also wanted to enter the new nest, was pecked out by the old bird, after a short confrontation, the new bird was defeated and hid everywhere. Although the old bird also had a pinch of hair on the top of the head that was pecked off, the old bird quickly gained the status of the boss of the cage. Although the new bird used to be a bird bully, it can only hide everywhere now.
All night saturday, the old birds were whirring in that new nest, and the new birds stood in the corner all night. Although I don't know how birds in nature sleep, it feels like they should be lying in the nest.
Next talk about eating, Sunday morning feed vegetable leaves, the old birds quickly come up to eat, the new birds want to eat, immediately pecked, can only escape.
The old birds are all kinds of free, holding the leaves of the vegetables while walking and eating, and the new birds can only watch from behind.
So I put vegetable leaves in all four corners of the birdcage so that new birds could eat them at any time. But new birds may be "birdy" and occasionally take a bite. Old birds may think that the leaves are delicious, and when they see new birds eating them, they immediately go forward and peck. Subsequently, according to my observation, new birds eat bird food (millet, melon seeds, etc.) secretly, and they will flee to the corner with a bite. Or simply eat food dregs under the cage.
All day long is the old bird (left) all kinds of ease, the new bird everywhere to avoid and dare not move, in the morning the eyes feel not open, always squinting eyes. In fact, careful observation, it is still possible to distinguish between two birds, the old bird is larger, the mouth is more curved, and the claws are larger.
Occasionally two birds are able to eat vegetable leaves on each side. However, it has been observed that the new birds are slightly adapted in the afternoon, although sometimes they are still pecked by the old birds, but they will find something to eat everywhere when they are empty. (Please ignore the ugly cage, because the beak of the bird is strong, the cage wire is always bitten off, do not want to bother to change it with lead wire to make up)
The painting style of the day is basically the old bird bouncing around, the new bird slipping around, not being pecked is lucky, nothing to squint. As soon as I found two birds fighting, I quickly went over to stop them, whether they could understand or not, and I had to teach the old birds a lesson. I thought to myself, if this new bird doesn't eat well and sleep well all day, it won't last for a few days.
Just now, something new happened. It was getting dark, the old bird went into the new nest to rest, the new bird tried to enter the old nest, and the old bird immediately came and pecked. I looked at it, hurried up to reprimand, and then the old bird was in the new nest, and the new bird was in the old nest, and I quickly brought a black cloth to cover the bird cage, so that the two of them were full of black eyes, and they could always sleep in their own nests. Later, I secretly lifted the cloth to look at it, and I vaguely saw two birds in a nest. I thought to myself that if the new bird can sleep in the nest and rest well, in a few days the two birds will be familiar, they should be able to get along without incident!
