Hi everyone,

 

After my beloved budgie Olive died recently, leaving her mate behind, I'm looking into getting another bird to keep him (Beau) company. If possible, I'd like to house him with my female cockatiel (Rosie). I know that's not always recommended, but they have been together previously in a large cage with another cockatiel and budgie, and were fine together.

 

If I were to get just one other bird to go in with them, would it be best to get another budgie, or cockatiel? And should I get a male or female?

 

Also, I'm looking for some recommendations for good breeders in Perth.

 

Thanks for any advice!

There are lots of good breeders on here from perth so you wont have to look far

 

Welcome by the way :rofl:

I'd go for another male since your current one is male. And send libby a PM, she's awesome and in WA.

there are a couple of members from Perth here that could help you I'm sure

Thanks for the replies and the welcome!

 

I was leaning towards getting a male budgie, good to hear the motion seconded!

Lewis, You hardly can be called a breeder with only one pair of birds.

 

Dusk you would be best to contact Kaz. She can help you start with some good birds

Kaz or Libby - wont go wrong either way
