Birdamor no offence but getting a bird a companion Just because it "feeds" its inanimate love is Not a great idea
One they will lose their pet bond in most cases
2 there is NO real insurance that the new bird and established one will in fact even like one another let alone fall in love
3 the addition of a new bird to the flock should NEVER be done Just to have a companion for a bird It should be because the owner wants and can provide time attention feed toys etc etc to it.
I have seen FAR too many in rescue because they were given this same advice.
Also birds can be quite happy in love with inanimate objects
i have a rescued budgie and while I would NEVER give a bird a mirror this bird had 3 in his cage I attempted to get rid of them and after quarantine introduce him to others over the past few years he continues to seek out the mirrors and I gave them back and he will feed and well do adult bird things with it (crazy bird) but he has never shown interest in any of the fostered budgies
Just keep it clean and as long as he is happy well let him do his thing
