Hi everyone,
My husband and I have our little Yoda and he's an absolute joy. I work from home so I love having my little companion with me while I work. We've had him for almost a year now and no complaints at all. He's well bonded with me and with my husband equally. Sometimes he prefers one of us and sometimes the other, fortunately he didn't decide that one of us was a rival and one of us his mate.
So now we are toying with the idea of getting a second feathered family member. We're considering an African Grey. Of course, we don't want to do anything that would be bad for our first born or hurt his bond with us.
Anyone of you who has 2 or more birds (especially if you have two), what is your experience and how has that worked out for you?
Do you have them all out of their cages together, or take turns bringing just one out?
For anyone who has a smaller bird (green cheek conure like ours maybe) plus a larger bird (African grey or bigger), do they fight? Do they get along?
Any thoughts or feelings or stories or advice in general would be great to hear.
Thanks!
Edit: I just want to mention a couple of additional notes. We fully understand that if we got an African Grey, he would need to have his own cage, his own toys, his own playgym, and shouldn't be left along with Yoda without supervision.
