Hi all!
My intention was to have one bird but I have ended up with three! At the beginning of the latest lock down I purchased a budgie expecting to lose hours at work or possibly my job. That didn't happen.
So I bought a second budgie to keep my 1st budgie company while I worked ten hours a day. I worked with them a lot to get them used to me. They land on me, fly around. They are very relaxed but prefer each other for company.
So I thought ok that is how my budgies are and might ever be but I felt a gap in my life where I wanted some connection so I purchased a tiel to add to my flock.
I feel very close to him. I do the washing up and he is perched on my head asking me "watcha doin?" He lands on me and demands scritches.
However, I do still work long hours so even though he gets hours free every day and probably about ten hrs a day when I am off work I wonder if he is fulfilled.
His cage is 2.5 feet wide. I give him toys, cuttlebone and mineral blocks. He has my budgies to sing to and the radio is always on.
So with a long winded question I want to ask if my budgies are good company for him or if he needs another tiel in the family.
Thanks!
