So I'm planning some bird accommodation shuffling soon, hoping to get my GCC into my biggest cage (48x36) with a divider if needed to share with my tiel and dove. (that was the set up with my previous GCC, without a divider, but I'm realistic they may need it) They currently share a smaller (30x24) flight cage with my budgie...and the budgie can't move into the big cage due to bar spacing. The 30" flight cage has a divider too, and I'd like to get a 2nd bird to share with the budgie.
I work during the day, so I like them to have bird buddies to keep them stimulated when I'm not around. I'm working on trying to tame the budgie, but its hard to say how effective its going to be. She was an aviary bird and lived with finches before so she thinks she's a finch, not a parrot.
I know parrotlets can be fiesty, but I also know they can be little darlings.
I'd love to hear experiences with them in mixed bird households and how that worked out. I've found a nearby breeder with handfed babies, but I don't want to rush into things.
