I don't remember all of the situation, but is it possible to keep the 2 that are separate (the boys if I'm not mistaken) out of sight of the others? Mine are flock calling but so far not enough to drive me crazy. The separate two are keeping each other company enough to get their mind off the rest most of the time. I'm also experimenting with giving them shared out-of-cage time, but if I'm not mistaken that didn't work out well with yours.

Oh Luvs I'm so sorry to hear this! if I was in your shoes, I wouldn't know what to do either I hope you find a solution soon, giving away your babies must be really really hard, I don't even want to think about doing that with my birds, I hope I never need to

I'm so sorry, Luvs. That flock calling is tough to take. I understand, because Mistletoe flock calls to me constantly, and it's enough to drive a person insane. I held him for a long time this morning, including letting him perch on my shoulder while I did dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. Finally I put him at the cage and he seriously wasn't there for 5 minutes before he started in with that flock calling garbage. I'm a fairly slow to anger person, but I have to admit I felt a bit mad when that happened.

I'm slow to anger too but this has been happening a long time and I don;t know what to do. My sister brought Tweets back out so that's a no go and the rest flock call like the rest. I did put Luna in with Tweets awhile back and she did not like being in lol Hopefully in later summer I can get my own house. and then go from there ;\

How long has it been since you tried putting all six together and seeing what would happen? Surely that would stop the incessant flock calling, but of course you can't leave them together if somebody is being mean to another.
So if you have the cages so close together that they are touching, and the birds can kiss and stuff thru the cage bars, do they still flock call?

I took the doors off of the cages and put them up really close to each other, Tweets only flock called twice yesterday. Did not do so well today. He flock called about 6 times starting at 638 before i woke up around 8. I have them all out now, tweets is charging towards tweetles, I think I will bunk them together tonight and see how it goes

I'm glad things seem calmer. I really do hope you can stumble upon the right combination to bring the most happiness to your flock. I understand how infuriating incessant flock calling can be. It's ear splitting.

I am keeping the smaller cage open (with the doors off) and see if they will use it. Tweetles did while Tweets ran her off. they are all preening themselves right now, I might cover them earlier since they start to flock call around 330 for seeds
