Second quessing myself.

So the closer it gets to bringing home a second bird the more I start freaking out! I did not come to the decision lightly I know what bringing home a second bird means and I am excited but I am also super nervous! Pumpkin and I have the best relationship!! THE BEST and I feel like even after a year I am still learning more about him every day. I TAKE the best care of him that I can and I enjoy doing it! But I have all these irrational thoughts going through my head. What if the new bird doesn't bond to me the way Pumpkin has, what if they hate eachother, what if Pumpkin gets jealous, what if they bond together and both end up hating me?! What if they fight and need separate out of the cage time, that would cut Pumpkins time in half, that is not fare to him. Omg I'm so nervous. I've put so much thought into this decision and a lot of money too. I am excited but scared. I even have the new babies cage all set up already!!

I hear ya! Analysis paralysis! Big breath in time
I felt the same way, tooing and froing and stressing about getting another parrot when I knew I was doing the best by the two I had. So I actively decided getting against getting third...but then Mum needed a place for Marley.
And it's actually fine
Any of those hiccups mentioned above....there'll be a way around them. You are alert, aware, and capable. It'll be awesome

Yep, I think everyone goes through that for the most part. I definitely went through it with Shiko! It's easy to doubt yourself and second guess right before you're about to commit, but I have complete confidence in your ability to provide an amazing home to both of the conures in your life - or any bird that enters your life, for the matter. So deep breath, stay calm, and continue to be excited!

I think you'll be okay. The fact that you're so worried over it now means that you're preparing and will have everything thought and planned to perfection. Breathe. It'll be fine.

I've wanted a second dog for a while but every time I get a little serious about I think about my relationship with my buddy and how that would change with a second....and then decide that I want to keep the relationship the way it is. Maybe not quite the same thing as a second bird but I would think that the social changes would be similar.
