BONDED QUAKERS!

Postby DoubleTrouble » Sun Feb 23, 2014 12:49 pm

so I have a bonded pair of :monk: :monk: quakers,
They're both aggressive and scared of everything.
How am I suppose to train them if they're always together?
Should I separate them and put their cages next to each other and work with one at a time?

Can you give more information? How old are they? How long have you had them? Are they equally aggressive, or does one always hang back while the other attacks?

I am not the best one to answer your question because I have only one bird :meyers: , but the more experienced people probably can use the answers to these question to help you as soon as they notice your post.

Good luck!

If they are a male/female bonded pair, you should not separate them, it's way too cruel. Were these breeding birds? How old are they? What's their background?
