Alright, firstly, I'm deeply sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I still get confused a lot of where to post D:
Alright, as some of you may know, I recently got a beautiful handfed rosy Bourke and I own seven budgies that have their own aviary.
But I'm thinking that id love to get a more cuddly type of bird. Don't get me wrong, I love my birds. The budgies are way too independant and Citrus is 'cuddly' in his own way. He wont like being petted but he does accept a few kisses sometime and loves to Han out with me.
I know getting a mid-sized bird could be dangerous for him because of his size, but I I ever do get one I'll make sure both of the birds het free time out of the cages and time with me. I work from home so I have plenty of time to share with my birds.
this being said, what I am looking in a bird is probably affection. I would love a bird that would like to be scritched but at the same time I'd lik a bit of independence. I don't want a bird to need me to live but id like a pal. Of course I wouldn't mind if this birds is with me all the time I'm home, but I don't want a bird that suffers terrible if it have to be in its cage for a few hours. I also would prefer if this new bird gets used to my Bourke. But I know its too much to ask.
I guess cudleness come with territoriality. Since in example, Citrus, my Bourke, is very independant and doesn't seem to mind having some time by himself or even hanging out with strangers. I know its also depends on how you rise the bird.
The birds I liked most are: Galah cockatoo (discarded due hormones, that seem to hit cockatoos very hardly), Mini Macaws (Any of them, but I am considering severe or maracana) and Hawk headed, but I heard they are hard, but somehow a combination of conjres and amazons, and since they are easy too territorial I'm not sure.
Which specie do you guys believe that would fit me best?
thank you for reading!
