I called the Finch Farm. They can still ship here to PA. I am getting a bigger cage because I will be getting 2 orange breasted as well. I have been wanting to get a couple more for a long time. I have been playing youtube videos with a female RCCB singing and my male calms down. Shirley told me to do that, and it seems to be working. He probably thinks there is another RCCB in the house singing. Otherwise he is yelling like he is mad.
When he is yelling. I also have been whistling like the song she used to sing, and he answers with a song too. It is just soooo cute!!!!!
I don't think he hurt her, he never did. He would just yell at me when he wanted something. Like if the food was almost gone.
Hopefully with a couple more friends they will be better.
And no I don't have a cat or any other pets. The only thing I can think of is that the hard boiled eggs I put in I left for an extra day there. Maybe they got bad? I usually just leave them in for a couple of hours but I totally forgot about them.

Thank you for all your replies
