Hello,
It's been years I'm dreaming of owning a bird, and as I will soon leave my parents' house, I want to make that dream real.
I've been fond of conures and pionus, who apparently make great first birds, so as I went to the parrot shop, as I asked for advice about then conures since they don't sell pionus, the one guy that was taking care of them when I arrived told me that if I'm going to live alone, it's better to take two birds at once, but he's still a seller so I want to know what you think about the pros and cons of having only one conure for a start and starting with two.
As it/they would be my first bird(s), I want to be sure of what's better for them. If they really need another bird-mate, or if it's better for the parrot to first bond with the owner.
I want to hear your thoughts about it!
Thank you
