Why are female parakeets so fucking mean?

I bought two males and two females last year, i've had no problems with either of the males but both females are horrible.

The first one is blue and white, whenever I reach into the cage to change the water/food she lunges at me and 'barks'. God forbid my hand comes anywhere near her, because she'll start screeching and fluffing up.

My second one is teal-blue, who I adopted for free from Petco, who's the worst of the two. She'll bite hard and HANG ON until you spray water on her, she's bitten me so hard she's drawn blood. Her temper isn't limited to me either, if one of the other birds catches her at the wrong moment she'll bite them and hang on while they flail around. She also seems to enjoy taking away any enjoyment the other birds may have by ripping apart treats I put in without eating them and letting the food fall onto the cage bottom, she also constantly knocks down toys.

I had one who did that, she wouldnt bite though. Just be an ass.

If she attacking the other birds, she needs to go. Eventually theyll lose feathers, their beaks and toes.

OP, are you a man or a woman? My boyfriend had a female parakeet who was wicked sweet to him and his roommate but turned into a total bitch to everyone whenever women were around.

Well, female budgies are known to be like that. Maybe because they are territorial and/or posessive.

I have an aviary with ~30 budgies. The females often fight over the 3 nesting boxes. The females that have claimed a nesting box chase away other females that approach.

I'm inclined to say they're poorly socialized since they're from a chain pet store.
