I've been researching birds a lot as I impatiently wait for a cockatiel to come home (my previous pick was taken back by the breeder for an eye infection). I'm considering bringing home a fourth small bird within the next year, but that depends mainly on how my budgies get along with my new cockatiel and how I find myself managing with the added clean-up time. I have been thinking that the best choice would be a Green Cheek Conure, but now I'm looking into a Kakariki--similar playfulness, but supposedly not known to be aggressive toward other birds, unless they are defending a nest. (There were traditionally few natural predators in New Zealand, so it makes sense that they are quite gentle.) I thought one might make a better addition to my flock, especially alongside a docile cockatiel. They're starting to grow on me. A bird store in my area sells them, so I'm thinking I'll visit them next weekend and see how I like them in person. I just wanted to share my excitement about this tentative decision. Pictured below for those who are unacquainted with this species.
I was also considering a Port Lincoln Parrot (Australian Ringneck), but then realized how exceedingly rare they are. It looks like a store near me might have sold them in the past, but I currently can't find any breeders in the U.S., so I don't want to get my heart set on one.
