I’m seriously considering getting a friend for Cutie, and am hoping that my parents will cave in by the time I find her perfect playmate. My only condition is that I want a male, so I’m looking for pink ceres or blue ceres, right?
I saw a few beautiful budgies at PetsMart, but am concerned. First, I don’t want to get a bird that is sick. I saw one I really liked, but while I was watching him he seemed to be slightly fluffed, especially around the neck. The second one that caught my eye was flying from perch to perch. But, even if I found a healthy bird, being housed with a sick bird would mean that I run a risk… right? They are all full flighted too, and I doubt they are hand-raised.
I know there are budgies at the pet shop I got Cutie from, though they are all pretty skittish as well. I would be able to get his wings clipped before I took him home with me. I feel that they care for their budgies better. My only problem with them is that the budgies all seem to be small… and they don’t have a large selection. I have heard of them getting budgies from people who don’t want them anymore. The budgies that they do get from a breeder are hand-raised, though.
I’m leaning towards the bird shop I got Cutie from, but was wondering what you all thought? :shrug:
