- Mister (Nanday Conure) Is the only parrot I own but I also own Dusk (Red Canary).
Hello!
For the last few months I've been looking into buying another parrot and I wanted some advice on how to bond them.
I have a Nanday conure, he is extremely sweet and he enjoys being around other birds. I want to buy a blue and gold macaw, I've done a lot of research on buying one, lifespan, personality, how to take care of, ect. I'm pretty set on buying one. I was going back and forth between an African grey and a macaw, and the reason I decided on a macaw is because they don't produce as much dander (I'm semi allergic) and a friend of my mom's owns a cockatoo, macaw, and African grey said that the African grey is a bit jealous.
Back to the original subject, I want to know how to bond them and get the best result. I've seen a lot of people that have macaws (or other big birds) with conures or cockatiels. I know that anything can happen as far as my nanday getting hurt, and I understand that they might not act well together. But, I'm still going to try my best to make them bond well.
Any tips on bonding them or introducing them would be extremely helpful. Thank you!
P.S. Would getting a baby macaw work better than an adult? So they could "grow up together" in a way. Thanks again!
