I need to get an opinion. Even though I’m already doing this. I guess I’m feeling somewhat guilty and need some reassurance. I have a Caique named Ozzy and 2 female parrotlets Bella and Abby. When I purchased the parrotlets I wasn’t sure if I should get 1 or2 because with Ozzy requiring a lot of my attention, at first I thought it would be better to have 2 so they could keep each other company. Although I wasn’t sure of that because of the extra work involved. I went and ask the the breeder and of course he is going to give me a reason why he thinks 2 would be a better idea as far as Ozzy adjusting also. But now I wish I would have followed my own heart. I knew I was going to have to be very careful and get the parrotlets out at separate times, but I also just heard that a Caique can actually kill a small parrot. It does work out that I separate them, but the problem is that the one female parrotlet Abby is very scared all the time, and I don’t think it’s fair for her to have to live in that environment. The other parrotlet is Bella and she is a lively little one, but she likes to bully Abby. So between Abby being a bully with her, and Ozzy jumping on her cage (I always grab him quick). Abby won’t get out of her cage when I open the gate. She starts to but then she gets too scared. I have Ozzy in a cage in my bedroom.
I am constantly on my feet doing something, I’m a clean freak so I’m always cleaning up poop, seeds, and feathers. Lol! Between that and my 3 dogs I’m really tired. I have fibromyalgia which leaves me feeling achy and fatigue all the times. But my pets mean the world to me. They raise my spirits when I’m down. Which is a lot lately. I’m always second guessing myself about everything.
So please tell me what you think. I just want Abby to be happy, she needs some one on one attention.
As of now I have 2 people inquiring about the parrotlets.
