So I guess I caved in and got a second bird after all.
Ever since Remi spent some time at the bird sitter and enjoyed the company of her birds, I have thought about a new addition. Well, the cockatiel we spotted in the petstore did not happen as he looked sick and I didn't want to take a chance with Remi getting something. I browsed Craigslist last week just for the heck of it, and wouldn't you know, there were three ads for conures. The first one that responded we got in touch with, and so here we go, we have - Petey!
Petey is a cinnamon green cheek conure about the same age as Remi, and had to find another home because their new dog wouldn't leave him alone.
Petey is very people oriented and a really nice bird. For now, their cages are away from each other so they can get used to seeing each other. They did share fruit on the kitchen counter, but they also bickered over my shoulder.
So, we'll see. Too early to say.
For those who ventured with a second bird, how did it go?
Will Remi and Petey ever be friends? I ordered another flight cage as I think they really need to live in separate cages. (Petey is in a smaller cage now)
