You're right about the budgies and Lineolated parakeets, they are too docile for a Parrotlet.

Hope this helps <3

So am home most of the time but don't have hours of time to spare. I have a small cage in my office and Bud usually sits on top of that while I am working. I am planning to work more hours either afternoon or morning (if I worked elsewhere in the morning I would then work from home in afternoon) So maybe a parrotlet would be a better option at the moment. I do love some of the larger birds. I have two dogs so they need walking too, and family and house to look after giggle. I don't do much in the evenings, mainly watch tv, bit of searching on my laptop, but I do find Bud is happier and more friendly in the day time. If I get him out in the evening he has a tickle and then is quite keen to get back to his cage. But then that might be a good time to train a new bird. I am seriously considering one of Stef's birds. nod2 nod2 They look lovely birds and I am thinking nothing venture nothing gain!! Maybe sounds a bit dramatic but think you will know what I mean. I will only keep thinking about it. I am thinking if I put them in separate cages next to each other for a while and let them get used to each other. Then get them out separately to begin with and just take it slowly. I am pretty patient with training. Then in an ideal world they will take to each other and share a cage eventually but hopefully at worst they will get on outside the cage but just be kept caged separately. :) Am talking myself into this!!! :lol: K x
