Hello All!
I've had the pleasure this summer of volunteering at the rescue I adopted Mia from. It's a small rescue with a max capacity of about a dozen birds, depending on size.
The dangerous bit has come from falling in love with the birds as I get to know them. I had an easy time resisting the super cuddly cockatoo; I know I'm not wanting that full time job. Harder was the sun conure with the sweetest temperament.
But I really don't know if I want to resist the temptation of adopting a super sweet caique. We had two come in together from a loving home that just couldn't care for them any more. They were meant to be a pair, but turned out to both be female and they get along okay, but prefer not to be together.
The one I fell in love with is named Ruby. She hung out with me while I scrubbed cages and was such great company.
I could go on an on about all the reasons I think she would be a great addition to my home. Like how there are multiple songs with the name Ruby in them and Mia and my dog Lola both also have songs for their names. (And I couldn't get Ruby Soho out of my head all day.)
But I came here to ask if anyone with amazons has also had I caique and if so, how did they do as flock mates?
Mia, the blue fronted amazon, has now been with us since late January and is doing great. I wonder if she would appreciate having another bird in the house.
Thanks for any input!
