Answer
hello Omar! Agression from the female is normal. Your male is trying to display his mating ritual with is constently following the female around cooing at her. She will show her feelings by preening him or giving him a little peck at. This is normal. House the two together regardless. The male will calm down eventuly. he is just very excited about a new friend! The female can more than fend for herself, this is how parakeets comunicate with eachother.
good luck!
