My family is close to becoming "bird people" for the first time!
We are definitely getting a Sun Conure as our youngest daughter has totally fallen in love with it and she was the reason we started on this journey to learn about birds in the first place.
While visiting breeders/shops, we also found a blue and gold macaw that took us by surprise.
This put us in a really challenging quandry. We suddenly really wanted to get both. They have been babies together which we are told is the ideal situation if you are going to have multiple birds in the same household - especially given the size difference.
But I am very worried we're making the wrong decision to get both. Will it be too much for us?
No amount of research is comparable to real experience, and we simply don't have any experience.
If we decided to only get the conure, and if the experience having a bird turns out super amazing, how difficult is it to add another bird to the family later?
We were already likely going to have to monitor the birds at all times when out because of their size difference and the fact that we have a corgi. Is this much different if we got a 2nd bird later and they had to gradually get used to each other?
Thanks,
