Hi everyone,
I have a male white bellied caique who recently turned 3 years old and I’m starting to regret not getting another one when he was younger.
He spends a lot of time out of the cage, but when he has to be in it i notice him sometimes just waiting for one of us to come and get him rather than playing with his toys.
He’s definitely started to express more hormonal behaviors and I do worry about aggressive behavior towards other bird species, however i’ve never had the opportunity to introduce him to another caique.
Given all of this, I would love to hear some thoughts on whether introducing another caique (male or female) at his age could potentially improve his overall happiness/well-being or whether it has a greater likelihood of causing distress to both him and the other bird. I would also be grateful for any general advice on how to make his time alone more enjoyable for him -
Thanks in advance!
