New pink canary attacking my yellow canary please help!
Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2018 1:53 pm
Hi all
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I have had a single yellow and grey canary for about 6 months and because she was on her own (definitely a female because she lays eggs!) I have purchased her a pink coloured mate (not sure what sex it is) and the new pink canary is viciously attacking my little yellow canary. It chases her all round the cage biting her and holding her down at the bottom of the cage and pecking her. It also won’t allow her to use the water bowls or food bowls. It literally chases her everywhere.
I’ve given it a few days to see if they sort things out but it is getting worse!
I’ve now had to separate them.
Can anyone offer me any help or advice with this?
I really would love a male canary to go with my little female but I am assuming this new bird must be female and that is why they fight?
Thanks a lot
