Hi everyone !
I currently have a 7 month old female CAG and am planning on getting a second bird in anthe near future. I have always wanted a macaw ( i am open to looking at other birds also) and was wondering what would be the right time to introduce another bird into the family..
i have many questions about this : 1) would it be better to introduce another bird when she is still a baby (so that she is more accepting ) or when she is older ( about 3-4 years)
2) which species should i consider and would get along (not hate each other)
3)what age should the new bird be
It's not as though I'm inexperienced with birds (i had 6 cockatiels but the smart birdies figured out how to open their cage and flew away) and there will always be people around the birds so they're never lonely since i live with 6 other people. everyone is on board with getting a new family member we're just worried about when we should get him/her and how old he/she should be ...
please give your insight and advice . it would be greatly appreciated. I'm prepared to get the new birdie tomorrow if it's okay . we have the space and financial capability to care for 2 birds .
thanks sm
