I am going to college in a few years, and because I will have less time to spend with my little girly (and I'd love another bird!) I was thinking of getting her a friend so she isn't all alone for most of the day. I can't trust my parents to give her the attention she needs daily, so as soon as I can, I will buy an apartment. This summer, I will begin putting money in a bank account for the apartment, when I get a job. I'm not concerned about space, as I am planning on building an indoor aviary at LEAST 4' by 5'. The bird's loudness is indeed an issue because I will share walls with neighbors.
These are some species I'm interested in: pearly conure, crimson-bellied conure, and the painted conure. Basically any Pyrrhura species of conure is acceptable, as long as the bird itself is not over $300. I also love parrotlets, and despite hearing that they're aggressive with other birds, I have not met one that was not friendly with other birds. Are there any other types of birds that are quiet and normally under $300? I am open to other species, but I don't have a lot of experience with other types of birds. I'd prefer the birds to be compatible, but I know that depends on the birds themselves.
Any ideas or comments about the birds I have listed?
