Sully-2 year old cinnamon and Bella-3 year old normal
breeding pair of gcc, Scooter & BeeBee-Sully and Bella's normal son's, Rosey- Bella and Sully's cinnamon daughter, Ella & Sunny-American budgies
So I am hand feeding three baby gcc and plan on keeping one and my parents plan on keeping one. We were hoping to keep them together in the same cage, they will be both males so there is no chance on breeding but would they both remain tame and freindly?
Thank you in advance.
 
I don't see why not. If i haven't sold my babies, they all stay in the cage together. I just bring them inside & let them fly around the house. They have a great time landing on everyone & everything. Being both males I don't see you having a problem at all. It all comes down to how social your babies are.

They are both very social and cuddly.
 
Cdog you can always have a plan B if things don't work out the way you want. But it should be OK.

Ok thanks.
 
Like Pedro mentioned, depending on how social they are. Every so often i'll run into a problem child.

No they grew up together so they love sleeping on top of each other.lol. and they only problem I am having is with the oldest one. Hedoesnt want to eat whole meals, he only eats half a meal so I have to feed him more often. But they are all gaining weight so I think they are fine.
 
No thats not what I mean of them having issues with each other. You asked if they would stay friendly, it depends how social they are. And of they're being taken out often. Handfed doesn't mean they won't go wild.

Oh oh, yes I take them out a lot. My dad takes the oldest one out several times a day also because that's the one he wants. They love their heads and cheeks to be scratched, and of course they love falling asleep in my shirt.
