Hi all,
New member here so apologies if I've posted this in the wrong section. The boyfriend and I are looking to get a couple of parrotlets - we are first time bird owners and would like to start with something fairly small! We have found a good breeder in London and have reserved 2 brothers who will be ready end July.
We both work full time which is why we want to get 2 birds to keep each other company (we plan on spending our evenings with them out of the cage for bonding and playtime). I have been warned however, that it is pot luck with parrots as to whether they will get on with each other once matured. Having 2 males together could result in fights for dominance, so we will keep in mind that we may have to seperate in the future. I just wanted some info from your own experiences of keeping more than 1 parrotlet together and how likely it will be that we WILL have to seperate them when they get older.
Thanks
