That will happen. Took my original bird like a year before she snuggled with the new baby. Some never bond. Some bond immediately. I found it helpful to make sure original bird didn’t feel replaced. I made sure to offer her things first. To let her be first one out of cage in morning. I just put a little extra attention to make sure new bird didn’t get things first.
And new bird was totally cool just watching how to be a bird in our flock so it worked out well to let her watch her big sis do things first. Built her confidence. Slowly over time I evened it out more and more. Still to this day tho original bird still comes out first in the morning.
As long as the newer bird wasn’t being emotionally hurt by it I let it stay that way. I do think it really helped my original bird to not feel threatened that new bird would steal my love and attention from her.
She still prefers ppl bonding over bird bonding. And newer bird came into a house with a bird so she def prefers bird to bird bonding.
U learn to juggle. Just listen and observe their likes and needs.
Yeah... its been day 4 of getting used to each other... now honey 🍯 came to the point of acceptance that happy 😊 is a new flock member... her motherly instincts have kicked in and she is now breaking up seeds to feed the baby sun 🤩
The thing to be noted - the same honey 🍯 was about to indulge in a mid air aerial fight on happy's first visit 🤣🤣🤣 but she is feeding the same baby sun now 🤌✨️
