| They can be aggressive towards other species as well as their own when placed in a community flight or cage. It all depends on the individual bird and it's personality. They are usually ok when placed in pairs of three or more and given plenty of space and nests to prevent fighting over nesting sites and to ensure a place to sleep at night for they are cavy nesters that do prefer to sleep in nest at night even when not raising young. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
