I tried to introduce Birdie to the three girls and it did not go well. Maybe because the neutral place was the bathroom and the three may remember it from their recent bath.
Much vocalization from everyone but Flicker lunged at Birdie and cut her by the nose. Then Birdie and Flower lunged at each other, but no blood drawn. They are separated and the three are still in the box I use to carry them upstairs.They are non-stop vocalizing/chittering and not in the good way.
I separated them and tried to get them to calm down, then introduced them in the freshly cleaned, empty cage bottom level. Now Flower was attacking anything that moved. I put her on the couch (my son watched over her and she rested under fleece), kept Flicker and Mouse on the bottom level, and put Birdie on the new top level. Even when I put Flower back into her house she was upset.
Birdie seems to like her new digs, but it is only 1 grid wide, so keeping her up there forever is not an option. Advice needed!!! I am wiped out!
oh crud. As I was writing I hear a commotion. Flower lunged and attacked Flicker! Flicker tried to run away instead of engage. How on earth am I supposed to go to bed if Flower is in the cage? She is all crazy now. :'(
