You need to remove the one that is doing the plucking into a cage of its own. Do you have a nest in the cage? Sometimes they do this for breeding materials.

I would move it immediately.

Please keep us posted.

Chadz.....what size is your cage? Sometimes if the cage is way to small they birds can get agressive from not being able to get away from each other.

I don't know who said that cage is suitable for two pairs...far too small, and asking for trouble.

I agree with Paul completely on this, that cage is certainly to small in my opinion
Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
I pray they never find a cure.
