I think it is a combination or having enough room for the cockatiels to flock together, and so they are not easy pickings for the conures. they do feel outnumbered, so they are going to try to fit in instead of dominate.

When my daughter moved in with me she brought cats with her. Her cats were mean to my little Fancy. I was watching one day when they set up an ambush to take her house and claim it as theirs. I could not believe what I was seeing and Bruce the dog was the only thing that saved her.

To claim my home as theirs they thought they had to get rid of the original resident. I gave them extra attention so they knew they could stay. Whenever possible I gave all the cats attention together. It took a while for the new ones to understand that I was not going to rehome them again.


Wow, cats are very strange animals, I think they think in a similar way to humans.

I wonder if it is the same with Macaws and 'Toos?
May I ask what the coathanger thing was that the conures were playing on at 0:59, It looks entertaining! :D

You have such amazing footage and birds thankyou for sharing!



I don't know what is that hanger for. I bought it for the birds. :D

My grey has never bitten any of the conures before. She tried to be possessive whenever I was recording them. She would chase the conures away. She wanted to be the main movie star. :D

Mabye they feel outnumbered?


I don't think so. If I put one of my conures in there, he/ she would chase all the tiels.

Well it is also possible that not all species get along well with each other. I know that in the wild even when some of them share the same feeding grounds that they do not eat at the same time or in the same spot forming a mixed flock.

Long long time ago, I had a lory, a tiel and a few budgies. The lory could get along very well with the budgies but would kill the tiel.
