It sounds like Leelo might be suffering from an hormonal imbalance. Could you try to get a nice clear picture of her cere for me please?

Awwwww, I'm so sorry to hear that Poki and Leelo are having such a hard time. Poor birds!

I'm sorry guys, I've had a couple of very very busy days Here's a picture of Leelo's cere... I've noticed that she starts screaming when she hears the chicks crying for food (they eat by themselves now but they still ask Poki for food once or twice a day) and then the babies shut up immediately, like she was scolding them haha

I know and yeah, she still tries to bite him if he gets near her, and I haven't seen her do the same with the babies but she does scream when she hear them, I dont know what that means though

I would just keep on doing what you are doing for several weeks. Then, reintroduce them- SLOWLY. This would be best achieved by keeping Poki in a different room and out of sight of the other birds for a week or two, then caging them in the same room, moving the cages closer over a week or two, and then seeing how your little flock reacts to her when the cages are side by side.

I think Sarah means to keep Leelo separate.

Hahaha yeah, I get it, I live in a studio apartment and the only other room I could keep Leelo has no source of natural light :/ I'm a little worried that it might not be healthy for her.

Wow! I admire you for raising baby budgies in a studio apartment! I lived in a studio apartment for two years, about three years ago. It's challenging.

Could you maybe put some kind of a barricade between Leelo and the other birdies, so they can't see each other? Like maybe turn a bookcase sideways and tuck Leelo around the other side of it? That might give her a little privacy, even in a studio apartment.
...or do either you or your roommate have family close by who would be willing to let Leelo visit for a week or two?
