HI,
I'm Itzik from Israel, and I'm new here.
first I want to say I love this forum and it is a very good place to learn and share information and experience so thank you all for sharing and helping others.
I have a sweet CAG, Paco, 2 and a half y\o, which I love and care about very much, lately, I have some appointments at my work and can't take him with me as usual.
I need to leave him for approx. 8 hours some of the days of the week, I give him some puzzle toys to play with while I'm away, and from the cameras, I can see he is quite OK.
sometimes I see him just standing inside his cage which is open and he is free to explore the safe parts of the house that I arrange for him, he is fully flighted and he loves to fly and play.
it is kind of bothers me to see him just standing there doing nothing for a few hours, I was wondering if bringing him a new friend would be a good idea.
when I come back home I spend a lot of time with him, training, playing, and eating together.
he flies very well, he's familiar with recall training, he knows to whistle for me when I call him if I don't see him, we have very good progression with the harness (he willingly puts his head throw the head loop) and he can answer his name if asked for.
I thought about bringing another CAG or B&G baby macaw hoping they will be friends and I won't feel that way when I have to leave him.
I'm aware of the introduction process and that they both should have a cage of their own and the training I should give them both.
Does any one have an experience of raising both CAG and B&G? any suggestions?
thank you for your time reading.
