My fiance and I are going to be both working full time as we graduate here in december. We have had our GCC since january, and he has become really attached to us. We try to have him out of his cage most of the time, but as we graduate and take full time jobs we are worried about attention issues with our GCC.
We had him during an internship and he loved us after we got home from work, was all over us and didn't want to leave our shoulder when we got home. That was only a three month period however and I could tell he was sad when we were gone.
So, question; Do we get another bird for our GCC? We read about birds attaching to each other and ignoring/hating the owners and we really don't want that. Our bird is our absolute love, we couldn't imagine being without our little pigeon , we don't want him bonding with another bird and then we can't play with him or cuddle, or take naps with him. Also, if we take another bird,should we go with another GCC or can we do something different, like a budgie or maybe a cockatiel?
I want the best for our little bird, if that means he bonds with another bird and emotianally distances himself from us, I guess that's how it goes. We are both full time individuals so he will be by himself from eight to about five. What's the best plan as we move into a new phase in our lives?
