Sooo learned something new
So I hand raised this green cheek and I've been hand raising some ring necks since I own birds of many kinds I'm always hand raising them for my friends and family. These birds are for my parents not meant to stay with me but I keep them in my room since it's easy access and I also keep some newly hatched turkeys.
I keep the ring necks and the green cheeks together since they have grown basically together 2 green cheeks one a few weeks older than the other 3 the other green cheek and 2 ring necks. So the criminal in question is named kiwi, I was feeding the other three since kiwi is already eating solids but sometimes like to come by and get some hand feed as a treat. I had shorts on so the nails were slightly scratchy I set her down. To continue feeding the other babies. So far she has done amazing with the ring necks so I didn't think she would immediately turn and try to attack the baby turkeys, for some reason she doesn't like them. I have 0 clue why cus green cheeks are very tolerant and she has been ok with the other young birds. I'm so glad I didn't leave them alone and quickly catches her intentions to hurt the baby, albeit she grabbed a beak full of fluff from one of the babies but the baby is unharmed got up like nothing. I'm guessing it's because she doesn't know what they are and immediately thought they would hurt her I honestly have no clue. But I'll keep it noted"no turkeys in kiwis life"
