Walking the driveway
Hello,
I am considering getting a bourke!
Partly as a friend for my 4 year old budgie, larry, as he gets a bit lonely sometimes.
Also because I want more experience with different types of birds.
There are some for sale near where I live, But I only have two cages, one large round cage for larry, and another cage for my finches. My finches are breeding, so I don't want to disturb them by adding another bird in their environment. I am also building an aviary in the next 6 months, so once it is finished all my birds will go in there.
The question is, Should I get a bourke now, while there are some available, and keep it with larry until my aviary is done,
Or should I wait? There is a chance that there will be no more by the time my aviary is finished.
I only know of one breeder where I live...
Any advice?
Also, is it true that they live for 25 years?
