getting another parakeet, will they fight?

[WhoDatChick]

We had two.. added two more.. then two more.. I didn’t pick male or female I just picked for looks.. but I do believe I have 3 males and 3 females.. If you have enough space.. and plenty of food and water they will all get along fine...

I recently got a budgie. Pet store told me they only sold females. My budgie was/is a male.
He was adjusting well but he wasn't too active, so I got him a friend.
They fought over a favorite perch at first but after I moved them to a new cage with an additional perch, they became fast friends with mutual grooming sessions.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It really helps me! I was planning on getting this cage! Is it big enough you think?

What are the dimensions?
It looks roomy enough for two. I have a similar cage on standby but it has a different top. The different doors are good. They have the small doors up front and a larger one as well.
It will house two small birds.
The only catch is the way it is vertical. It's easy to get excited and overcrowd them with toys.
But for the style, space, and price that is a good deal.

Use your best judgement and enjoy your new friends!

Thanks for this thread, I'm actually getting a parakeet soon. Can you tell what gender it is by the nose part? I forget what it's called, but I read online that it's a male if it's pink, blue or violet colored. And it's a female if it's brown colored. I'm getting my parakeet and two months. Sorry to distract you guys, I just remembered that I'm not supposed to post my own problem on this thread. But yeah thanks for starting this thread cuz I'm curious too.

Female is pink or brown male is blue

I find that males don't fight to the death, but they don't really like each other that much. They do live in peace. I also have heard of very aggressive females that like to fight with males. Usually females fight when there are nests available. I find that even budgie fledgling can be sexed immediately. Some males have a pink nostril, while some females have a light blue. Though you can tell if it is female if there is a very light circle around the nostrils, while male budgies ceres are a consistent color throughout.

My males have always gotten along better with echoer than my females.

Female is pink or brown male is blue

female ceres are never pink they are tinted blue with white or white when young males are pink young then blue as adult except certain mutations where the cere is always pink
