My two budgies (around 5-6 months yrs old) though regurgitating to each other and following one another sometimes, seem to hate each other. They would make this kind of warbling noise then come at one another. Also, if one of my budgies is eating (for example), and the other comes, the one eating immediately leaves. […]
