So Peanut has settled right in and is doing well. I did do some reading about Caiques and I read that they can bit a bit of a bully which is surprising given their small nature. Peanut has started bullying Charlie, I do not quite know how to explain it, but he will snap at him and puff himself up to make himself look bigger. He is not doing it because he feels threatened he is doing is meanly. Charlie is a big baby and cowers and cries when Peanut does this and I am trying to figure out hows to get it to stop.
I was told using a stern voice and telling Peanut no would possibly work, but I am open to any suggestions. I am surprised because Charlie is so much bigger than Peanut and I thought that maybe Charlie would assert that he is in charge but I am not quite certain as to how the pecking order is established in flocks.
Thanks for any input.
