So I'll start by saying I am not new to birds. I grew up with them since I was just a baby.
Ok so, first question:
Right now I have a one and a half year old Cockatiel named Pip and we are very closely bonded. I am not getting the GCC with the intent of the two being friends. I plan on shelling out equal time daily spending one on one with each. Do you think that it would be dangerous to eventually try to let them be friends? And if they aren't friends, will Pip get jealous that I'm interacting with another bird than him? Or will he be okay because hes going to get the same amount of attention? Also, can the GCC eat the same pellets and diet that my cockatiel eats?
second:
I've scoured every GCC information page on google pretty much, so my main reason for being here is to hear personal testimonies about these parrots. What should I expect? I'm getting a weaned baby. I heard of some aggressive stage they go through? What's a way to get them to understand not to bite? I know that different birds respond differently so I wanted to know if there was a specific way for them? What is their typical personality? I know they are messy and I'm prepared for everything I read about them, I'm just wondering if anything slipped beneath the cracks on those articles.
Thank you so much for all your help! <3 I hope I get some good advice here! I want to be the best parront that I can to my new green cheek when I get them.
