Rumblestrutting Around The Clock

[Reddybex]

Hiya, I'm concerned about my boys. Vinnie is rumblestrutting and teeth chatting alot. Jerry is far less vocal but will chin him away if he gets too annoying. Vinnie is Jerry's shadow and follows him everywhere. So far this behaviour is when I bring them out for floor time. In the cage they have separate hiddies and altho Vinnie rumble struts I believe it's more or less peaceful. I'll know more when I get back to work and am beside them all day. The pic is of today's floor time when they decided to be parrots lol I hope they don't fall out altogether...concerned it will escalate as they are only 6 and 9 months

Your two boys are currently in thick of it. If it doesn't get any worse than that, then there is little risk of fall-outs. 6 months is generally the time when the testosterone output is at an all time high. 8-10 months when boars are pushing their boundaries (but generally not crossing them).

Thank you - I've had a read of this prior to getting Vinnie from the rescue but read it again there. I'm really hoping it gets no more serious. They are ever so sweet together when they are at peace.
