Hi i am sorry if I missed a post w the same question-i have been searching for over a week for an answer in many of the nice and informative posts.
I will be getting a Pineapple Green Cheek Conure who will be about 4 1/2 to 5 weeks old in 2 weeks-God willing- and I will be hand feeding her still. I came across an Indian Ringneck, female also or male is available too—the same age plus or minus a week or so. And I always wanted one.
Is it possible to raise these two species together in the same cage? I know as older it’s a huge No-No when introducing a new bird to an older bird. But these will be the same age.
And would it be too much all at once to have 2 birds? The cage is plenty big enough I think for 2-it’s 24 x 22x 60”.
I used to have a parakeet but that was 27 years ago. I am in my mid 50’s now which hesitates me from getting the ringneck since they live long. I know it’s ok for me-maybe not my hubby who never had any pet birds- and 2 maybe pushing it a little.
Thank you all for your advice and sharing your experiences and knowledge. Wilma
