A pair of male parrotlets? Do they get along?

Hey fellow bird lovers!

I’ve been curious: what happens when you try to keep two male parrotlets together? Are they the best of friends or feathered frenemies? Let's chat about what to expect and share some tips.

So, parrotlets—these little guys have BIG personalities, right? For such tiny birds, they can be as territorial as they are cute. While some pairs of male parrotlets do get along, a lot depends on individual personalities. Think of them like roommates: some get along and share the snacks; others argue over perches and seeds all day long!

Here are some things to keep in mind:

  1. Give Them Space - Just like us, they need their own areas. A large enough cage with separate food dishes and perches can make a world of difference.
  2. Introduce Slowly - If you’re introducing two adult males for the first time, take it slow. Maybe start by letting them see each other from separate cages before trying to house them together.
  3. Be Patient - Even if they seem indifferent at first, don’t push it. Parrotlets have their moods!
  4. Signs of Tension - Keep an eye out for aggressive behaviors like chasing or pecking. If it gets too rough, it may be best to keep them apart.
Anyone here had two males living together in peace (or war)? Let’s hear your stories!

Can't wait to see what everyone’s experienced with their feathered friends.
