Hello everyone. I know you're probably tired about hearing from me but I do have another question that I haven't been able to answer on my own. Basically, through my own research I realized that, depending on the species I get, it might be more beneficial for the bird if I got 2 instead of 1 (depending on the species I get of course) considering I'm not as lucky as you folks who work from home. Of course if I do this, they'll each have their separate cages and I'll have it arranged that they can keep in contact with each other, but not so close that one has the chance to bully the other while I'm not home.
My only concern is that if I do this, I'd really prefer to get two of the same species. Right now I'm mainly leaning towards eclectuses, which will be easy to tell if they're male or female, but in the case of conures, I wouldn't be able to tell and I don't want any accidental babies if I happened to accidentally got a male and female. What would you suggest as far as this setup goes?
Also, this is just a side note but I'm going to be volunteering with parrot rescues beforehand, especially if I get eclectuses since I know their diet can be difficult. Narrowed it down to a macaw rescue, which happens to be the only one even close to me. And it's about 30 miles one way... I'm looking forward to it regardless!
