[budgiebuddy]

Hi I was just wandering what peoples thoughts were on having two parakeets.I want another 'cause the one I have now is fun,but I need to make sure he is not getting bored.Plus I just want another.Well what I am actually asking is..Is it a bad idea to have two or more parakeets????

It's not inherently "bad" assuming you are able to take care of both of them. But especially if you house them together (only after a quarantine and supervised introduction period, of course) you should be aware that they will almost certainly become bonded toward each other and less friendly toward humans.

This is a terrible reason to buy a second. If the one you have is fun, then leave it that way.

i have 2 budgie boys and they are best friends. they keep each other company and always find lots to talk about. they are bonded to each other of course and not me. i enjoy them just as they are!
