Things between JD Barbados and Mihah have been great since I put them in together. I bought JD and put him in with the Doobie Brothers (Decoy and Bullseye) but he was being picked on almost mercilessly. So naturally, I had to separate JD and put him with the more passive Mihah.
For two whole weeks they got along with no problem. Until tonight! When JD hopped into the little nest I have in the cage for them and refused to let her in. All this time Mihah has been using the nest to cuddle up in at night, but JD took it over today.
He puffs his feathers, opens his beak and lunges out of the nest towards poor little Mihah if she even gets close. Even if she stays clear of the nest, he'll keep his eye on her and threaten every now and again.
So I did what I had to do and I separated them. Mihah is in with the Doobie Brothers and JD is by himself. I'm pretty sure that by the end of tonight I'll have to separate Mihah into her own cage. Poor little thing...Decoy and Bullseye aren't exactly picking on her as much as they are picking on eachother now. I'll give them a little while before I take Mihah out just in case they settle their differences...but you know boys. Even boys who aren't ready for sex will bicker over a girl.
It looks like I'll be putting my java craving aside for right now. I have to re-arrange birds, quarantine the new adoptees when they get here and make sure everyone is happy together. JD NEEDS a hen of his own species to kick his ass back into line, and with the 3 other birds I'm adopting...well, I'll have enough on my plate for a while.
I'm thinking JD is just about ready to get busy. Its a good thing that fair is in the next couple days...
Damn horny little bastard.
