Hi there, I am currently in high school (Junior) and I go to school leaving home from 6:30 AM and get back around 2:30 PM. I have three little budgies that I've had for about three months and I make sure to replace their paper, food, and water before I leave. For Christmas, I was planning to get either one lovebird or one cockatiel around a month old, so that they're weaned but still very young. I plan to get them from a good breeder that has raised them well, and get them as tame as possible with me. My concern is that the HOA allows a maximum of four birds, so getting two of any other bird isn't possible. I plan to spend my afternoons with the bird as much as possible, especially because the budgies aren't super keen on playing with me since they've bonded with each other and I wanted a friendly companion to walk around the house with and do homework with and definitely give lots of tickles! My concern is that the bird may feel lonely if I am not there the whole day, but I wanted to know if my budgies could maybe keep them company from a different area of the house? I'd have the cages in a place that they could see each other and communicate. Also, my grandpa is always at home, and my dad spends some days home and some days at work so they could maybe interact, but I don't want to take the bird out until I get home (unless I see the bird needs more interaction). Do you think this could work out? Could the budgies keep the lovebird/tiel company until I get home? I would, of course, spend as much time as possible when I get home with it and give it toys to play. Thanks for the help!
