Hi,
I haven't had a bird since I was about 14, (I used to have an adorable lorikeet), and I've decided, (now 21), that I would love to have a bird in my life again.
I am set on getting a conure, either a sun or a nanday... both are so beautiful and have the personality I want, I still haven't decided yet which one I want, but I have a question, is it possible to have a nanday and sun conure living together, in the same cage? I would love both, but I don't think I could have them in seperate cages, I can't afford to spend $600-$700 on a second cage + $200 filling it with toys etc. Plus I think they would get sad being in the same cage but not being able to interact...?
If anyone knows if this is something that's easy to do, which is the right way to go about it? Do I need to get 1 first then get the 2nd one later and introduce them orrr...? Is it even possible to have them living together?
Can they share the same foods? Do I need to have 2 of the same sex?
Another thing I worry is that the conure wouldn't bond with me if I had a 2nd one... but the main reason besides wanting both is I want him/her to have company when I'm out of the house.
Obviously if this isn't a possibility I will have to somehow pick between a sun or a nanday conure.
Any advice would be great, thank you.
