I currently have just 1 GCC and she's about 7 months old, my mom (who I live with) wants to get another bird because birds are flock animals and I agree but what kind of bird should I get? My mom wants a Ringneck and I'm pretty neutral, I'm just worried my conure will be aggressive. She's mean and bites other people but not me and rarely my mom, she only bites when you try and pick her up. She's molting right now and I assume that it isn't helping her behaviour. She was nice and sweet until it started. I'm also worried her past experience may have affected her more than we know. She was originally taken by some people who brought her back saying they didn't like her colours (I call bs consconsidering you see the bird before you get it and she was young) They returned her in a small trashy cage and they were really rude when they did it, she was returned in the middle of my meeting the birds, I felt bad for her and decided I would take her. If she's an outcast then we can be alone together! I'm wondering if more happened in that time. They didn't have her long. But it could have been traumatic for her even if it was for 2 minutes. I can't handle leaving her alone for 4 hours twice a week. I know my mom doesn't play with her often because she might bite her when I'm not there. I feel like getting another bird would provide her with more companionship but it could also became an all out war. I'm really worried and I can't handle having her on her own. Birds need other birds. But what kind of bird. My mom wants something different (I dont think it should be her choice consiconsidering I'll be taking care of it and I feel like I should choose the best match). Should I try and convince her to get another conure or should I go with a Ringneck? I've seen cases where the two can get along but I'm still worried something could happen while I'm out.
