Generally, the birds all get let out of their cages to play around in their play area on top of the their cages when someone is home. The Budgie, Kiwi, has taken a liking to flying into the room where I keep my bonded IRN, Mango, and Cockatiel, Peach. He will even dive bomb through a narrowly cracked door to get in, or take the long way around through a hallway. When there, he seeks out either Mango or Peach and gets in their face, chatting away. He will spar lightly with Peach, but Mango will take a full lunge at him and causally continue to pursue. Kiwi is quick, but I'm sure some day Mango will get him and that will be it. The situation is getting more dramatic since Kiwi can mimic all of Mango's and Peach's sounds, and there ends up being a calling match across the house. Kiwi is not really my bird, but I feel bad for him being alone (away from the other birds anyway) in the living room, and since he is flighted and unbonded, he is difficult to work with. I'd like for them to all get along and I've brought in Kiwi's play perch, but he still prefers to pester Mango and Peach. It takes a few minutes to get him to fly "out" of the room back to his play perch.
Here he is trying to take over Mango's bath time. One good thing though is that since he's seen the other birds eating their chop, he's given it a try and seems to like it, but only seems to pick at what's on Mango's and Peach's cage, not what's in his cage.
