Hi there,
My husband and I found a very sweet, hand tame, and very well socialized little turquoise pineapple GCC that we intend to pick up this weekend. She was meant to be flown to NFLD, but they backed out and she became available at the last minute.
We have been between a conure and a Poi, but were having a lot of trouble finding poi breeders anywhere near us, so we decided to go with the conure. Today I was told of a breeder with Brown Headed parrots that are about 4-5 weeks away from being weaned. She has 1 left. A BH has been my dream bird since I was young. My husband and I have discussed this at great length, and want to know how a GCC and a BH might get along? We intend to turn our second bedroom into a very large aviary room for them for playtime (separately, or together if they get along), and their main cages will be in our living room area.
Is that a bad decision to make? To bring home one, and then about 5 weeks later, bring home another? Neither of us lack experience with birds, so that's not what we're concerned with. I'm more so trying to figure out the dynamic between the two of them and how we should go about introducing them.
And if anyone does own a BH, can you comment on what they're like once mature? I've heard they turn right nasty and aggressive from a few people. If anyone has a BH and can shed some light on how they really are, we'd appreciate it!
Thank you
