I just wanted some info from your own experiences of keeping more than 1 parrotlet together and how likely it will be that we WILL have to seperate them when they get older. Nov 16, 5, Media 2 0. Welcome to the forum I am sure someone will be along shortly to answer your questions. Alisana New member. Is it from the Forpus , Nannopsittaca , or Touit genus? Any pictures? IcyWolf New member.
Regardless of their sex, its never suggested that you keep parrotlets caged together unless they are a breeding pair. Best case scenario is that they will bond to each other and want nothing to do with people, worst case scenario they will violently fight until only one is left. P'lets are known to be territorial and they don't do well with cage mates, even male and female pairs have been known to attack and even kill each other. If you really want two I would highly suggest getting two separate cages for them and a playstand for them to interact with each other.
We have 5 young parrotlets right now that were raised together and if I would even try mixing them together in cages it would get ugly, I thought about it for a minute and held one baby outside of anothers cage and the one in the cage started trying to bite at her through the bars. But, I have a play stand out in the living room that they all happily share every day. They hang out together, preen each other and play just fine on the gym but they know that their cage is their home and houseguests are not appreciated.
What did the breeder tell you? Alisana said:. Click to expand Tootz said:. Hmm, there is alot to consider. I have found a rather large cage cm x x 66 which has a removable dividing wall, which would suit us better because we are limited on space, but not sure how the birds would feel about that - they would be able to hear each other but not see!

Kallee was parent raised and knows she is a bird and not a person. And, getting a good diet makes a difference too.
Kallee gets Mike's Manna Mash, no pellets or other crap they sell, fresh fruit for breakfast, and nuts and seeds for treats. Liz Blide Wickard admits this counts for her. I know others who have gotten another Parrot for their Parrot. The two Parrots bonded and they lost them as pets. That would break my heart. Kallee and I have been together for 15 years and I wouldn't change a thing. Another sole Parrot that contradicts the dictum a Parrot alone in not natural is Alfie, a nine-year-old Blue and Gold Macaw.
Alfie lives with Debbie, her daughter Amy and their dog in Wales. When Amy was born seven years ago Debbie managed the issue of jealousy so neatly that Alfie and Sausage wound up protecting Amy.
Debbie, not a professional bird trainer, nevertheless socialized Alfie to a phenomenal degree. Initially clipped by his breeder, she let him fledge and free flies him, on occasion Alfie will play with local children in the street. He has visited our flock on several occasions and behaved impeccably.
I kept a single grey Artha see my first blog for 18 months before getting a Grey companion for her. My reasons for adding another bird relate to the pleasure I have from watching Parrots interact with one another: a mutual preening session; an argument over whose turn of the swing; a cooperative effort to open the biscuit tin;. Here are two more examples.
Bobby came to Anguel and Wayne six years ago, plucked, biting and miserable from a tightly caged situation. In the better environment with other Greys for company he is no longer recognizable - a chirpy feathered friendly bird. So my experience shows me that a single bird can be perfectly well adjusted if his human family will become his flock. Max Grey is one such bird. Mandy is often home and Max is in the house free with her; he has an aviary for warm weather.
He is flighted and has a large English vocabulary. That he is a well adjusted bird is proved to me that when he meets my Greys, after an initial reserve he blends in with the flock. SO who is right and who is wrong?
If you are prepared to fulfil the Parrot's needs yourself he or she will adjust.
