- Kiku my Black Cap Conure
I have a 4 year old conure who's always been a solo bird. I've always been guilty of leaving him at home while I go off to work (7:30am to 6pm). I leave the tv or radio on for him. He's by a cm second story window and occasionally sees people waking by. He gets 3-4 hours of one on one time on weekdays, all day on weekends.
He seems well adjusted but lately has been over-bonded to me. This comes as no surprise since I'm the only person he interacts with. My friend said leaving him alone all day with no other creature in the house is not conducive to his mental well being. I see that logic in this.
My question is, would it help to get another bird or birds, housed in a different cage? Maybe a pair of budgies or 3? I intend to care and prove for them equally. The cage will be just as large as my conure's (30x30). Will him hearing/seeing other birds be healthy for him?
