Hi everyone-
I have a 17mo sun conure. She is a great bird and is fairly well behaved (we are still working with her to help her through her "puberty stage" of course). She can be quite noisy (which I expect since she's a sun), however I can not leave her side, let alone go out of her sight, without her becoming very vocal. I have spoken to a breeder in my area as well as other bird owners and exotic vets about this and they have suggested that I get another parrot to keep Tiki company when I cannot. I spend lots of time with Tiki and give her new/different toys everyday as well as lots of foraging opportunities. So, I was hoping that you all might be able to give me your opinions on this matter and I am also curious if anyone here has a conure and another type of bird housed in the same cage. If I do acquire another bird, I want to house it with Tiki because I do not really have room for another cage. Right now I am considering a caique or red bellied as a companion for Tiki. Thanks for any input you can provide!!!
