Hello Everyone
As a background, I have a 2-year-old male Budgie. I adopted him about 8 months ago from a not-so-great home. He came with his brother and they were in a very small cage, not hand-tamed and on a full seed diet. Almost Imideatly I noticed his brother was not well and long story short I had to make the heartbreaking decision to have him put down after months of antibiotics and vet appointments it was decided that was what was best for him. Avis my other Budgie had a much more minor case of sickness and has been all healthy now for about 3 months.
I am wanting to get another friend for Avis but am unsure about how he would receive another budgie as he is quite independent, even though he will come to my hand and sit on my head. My question is, would a cockatiel be okay to bring into this situation? I have a bird room and the Cockatiel would have a separate flight cage to my budgie but they would be out together in the day. I spend most of time at home so would be able to give both birds lots of attention. I have researched whether these two get along and I am aware they are seen together in the wild. Any advice would be welcomed, thanks
