I have one buddy that I've had for about a week and I was thinking about buying another budgie tomorrow will that take the bonding away from my first budgie from me or will I be able to get both budgies to bond with me I really need opinions on this thank you

One week is really not enough. If you want personal contact you will have to wait until he comes to you when you ask. I don't like having one of anything alone.

I think you should wait another week at least to see how close you can become. Then your Budgie will teach the new buddy by example that you are a good human. This has worked many times in my "Animal House". I have seen cats even teaching the dogs. Cloe the dog had to be stopped from teaching Myrtle the doggie door.

Well, if you want the bird to be happy, get another budgie because, in truth, they don't do well on their own as budgies are intensely flock oriented. I've never believed that when you have a pair you lose the bond... it does change, I grant you that, but it doesn't disappear. Personally, my goal with all my birds is for them to be healthy and happy and, if they happen to bond with me, good, but, if they don't, it's good too.

Your best bet would be to get a hand-fed female of the same age because you would have a pair (which is the ideal situation for birds as social as parrots) and, as she is hand-fed, she will be tame and, as you interact with her and the male sees that she is not afraid of you, he will relax and begin to regard you differently than just a giant alien to be feared.
