Hey guys,
Just looking for some thoughts & opinions on whether adding another feathery monster to our family would be a good idea or not.
We’ve got a 13 month old hand reared B&G macaw currently - & although we spend as much time with him as we can, he is sometimes left for a few hours whilst we’re both out of the house. We’re looking at buying a bigger house next year, & are toying with the idea of getting him a friend so we don’t feel as guilty whilst we’re out.
Separate cages & no unsupervised playtime obviously, if we were to go ahead.
Just wanted some input from people who keep multiple parrots really - how did you find the introductory process? Would you recommend doing it? Did they become less bonded to you in the process?
I think the safest option would be another macaw to ‘match’ his energy levels & strength/boisterousness. Possibly a scarlet.
Ideally hoping for real-life experiences, not regurgitated online into - I’ve read a lot online so now I’m really just wanting to hear from people who have first hand experience of owning more than one bird.
Thanks!
