Hi, I have a three year old peach faced lovebird since a chick. He's tame and has always been very closely bonded to me, however I've been wondering for some time, would it be possible to introduce him to a companion of his own species? would another lovebird be best/ easiest for him to bond to, or would another species, possibly such as a cockatiel or budgie be less prone to aggression?
I am in the right situation to be able to take in another bird, and have plenty of time to spend with the both of them/introducing them etc so that is not an issue. I feel another bird would be able to give him a companionship and enrichment that I as a human simply cannot, and to provide him company when I'm not home. I just worry that lovebirds can be quite aggressive, especially since he's already in adulthood and can be a bit set in his ways at times.
Thanks for any input, it's only just a thought and not a definite thing whatsoever. I just want what would be best for him.
