Ive posted before about my Leroy and I just have a question.

 

He seems abit lonely (tries to feed his toys and grooms his furry "snuggie" that I put in at night) and I was wondering if I should buy him a mate. I read under the FAQs that two males together work well, and that suits me as I dont want to breed.

 

He doesnt like to leave his cage (doesnt mind sitting on top) and I thought that if I got a friend for him it would maybe make him more social and confident. I realise that he will then bond to the other bird more than me but it is possible to be able to handle 2 budgies isnt it?

 

So if I was to get another one would it be a good idea to wait until Leroy is abit more friendly and then introduce a new budgie so that the new one would copy Leroy and let me handle him as well?

 

Leroy is from a pet store and I think that it would be a good idea to get a friend for him from a breeder. I live on the Gold Coast is anyone knows a great breeder.

 

Please give me your thoughts.

I have two birds in the house. The male, George, has his mate Angle, hen bird. Heis also bonded to my family as well.

 

i think it depends on the bird and how much time you put into him. I would certainly try another bird but still make sure you cintinue time with him... He should bond to both of you.
