Hi everyone,

I've been thinking of getting a larger parrot, but I'm not sure what would be the best thing to do.

 

I have two un-tamed budgies that are both about a year old. They are both clipped and generally don't leave their cage, they'll sit on top and mind their own business/ give me intimidating looks.

 

I have been trying my best to find out the best species of parrot to get to live with the birdles (in a different cage), and it seems like Green Cheeks are the way to go.

Does anyone have any experience with bigger birds with their budgies?

Mine are pretty placid and don't explore or act curious... they have a beautiful new play gym which they won't go near :sad:

 

So, if there is a particular bird that anyone knows of that are known to be pretty co-operative of two little birds I'd love to hear suggestions!

 

Thanks!

i am telling you now my conure hated my birds they get very protective of you so i would not get one to be let out at same time

however any bird you choose so long as your birds are not out on free fly time same time of day would be fine id say so long as you are being watchful over their time out you should never leave any birds out un watched due to danger they can get into

That sounds fair. I figured I wouldn't lose any little feet from walking on the big bird's cage because the budgies aren't explorers.

Does your Green Cheek terrorize the budgies? Or vice versa?

mine was a sun conoure and he use to tell them to shut up

he passed away last year around September i miss him so so much im not ever going to replace him but he would of Peirce their necks if he got near one dont worry about no toes hed killed them

i always have a bird in side either taming for someone

or as my daughters fallen in love with one ( never lasts long though ) so ends up back in flight

Cockatiels and budgies seem to get along pretty well together.

I'm beginning to think a conure isn't a great idea...

 

I've felt the same way as you about my budgie that escaped last year. Don't want to replace him but I saw tame budgies at pet stock today and they were trying their damnedest to get my attention and it made me miss the interaction I used to have with my missing one. (the good looking guy in my avatar).

 

The only problem then is what happens when it meets my rebel birds with bad habits. Do untamed birds affect a tame one if they're all in the same cage?

 

 

Hezz, I've assumed I'm allergic to cockatiels so I haven't considered them really. They don't appeal to me a great deal anyway.
