- None...yet, but I'm seriously considering a macaw.
I'm looking at one website where I can purchase a "pair", as opposed to a single, and choose between "chicks" and "adults".
I'm torn between getting a pair, because, then, each always has a nearby "friend" that they grow up with and develop a bond with (you'd hope), and therefore might be less prone to loneliness and anxiety and such... or getting just one parrot.
Especially if both birds are the same species, same age, same brood, and grow up with each other, you'd think that there'd be minimal infighting and they'd develop somewhat as strong of a bond with each other as with you, their provider, which I hear is strong with parrots, and macaws in particular. Obviously I'm looking at double-size cages fit for the largest (duo) of parrots (with adjustable divider) so they have ample room for themselves when desired.
I'm curious what other people's results have been, doing something similar.
