This little bird has taken over our lives, dogs and all. She is very rarely happy playing alone even if she can see us thru sliding glass. F doors. She has a huge screened porch full of play gyms and toys. She's fully flighted, so she can fly all over the porch and this porch runs the width od the whole house. Mostly, I sit out there with the computer, or books, but I have errands and other things to do like take the dogs to the park, etc. I'm afraid she thinks of me and my husband as flock mates. She loves us both equally. We've had her for 4 short months and it seems like we've had her forever. She eats every meal with us, watches TV with us, etc. I do want her to know she's a bird. She sees plenty of wild birds throughout the day and mimics the crazy mockingbirds. But I'm thinking she might need a bird friend. We certainly don't need another bird, but maybe she does??? I don't know. Would it be best to get another Sun, or would a similar sized parrot be okay. I certainly do not want to breed birds. Would it be better to wait (Screech is 8 months old) until she's older, or get,one now rather than later? And then who's to say they'll even get along, much less be a comfort to one another. What's the consensus?
