My male budgies fight. Can separating them cause loneliness or death?

Question

I just separated my two male budgies. They seem to be doing well. They have a weird relationship when they fight one second and are affectionate with each other the next. I decided to separate them before one of them gets hurt, but I read online that they can die from loneliness. I put their cages together, but is that enough? Do they need to be together even though they fight? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | 10 lbs

Budgies are social animals. Just because they fight sometimes doesn't mean they hate each other. They often interact to enforce a social hierarchy. If you need to keep them separate, try letting them out at the same time to have periods of time together, although this could stimulating the re-establishment of their social standings. Good luck.
