etherealessence is such a lucky girl!
After much consideration, we had to do it… We got Yoda a friend very recently! She will be the last parrot, as 2 is more than enough to handle ;D Yoda just made his 1 year birthday, and our newest addition is only 3 months old. She is a beauty and is the same species/similar size as Yoda, but her feathers are bright turquoise instead of green! I named her Ocean, partially for her coloring, and also because of her extremely mellow temperament (for now). So far the two birdies appear to get along very well and since both have had recent vet check ups and are totally healthy and free of diseases, we’ve been allowing them to interact. I caught them snuggling yesterday and they preen each other a lot! Yoda’s still establishing his “dominance” so there is a little bickering here and there, but Ocean is good about yielding and knowing her place so to speak. She seems more bonded to me, and loves to cuddle in my hair, but I have to watch her because when I leave a room, she will fly to the ground and try to follow me, which is dangerous. But in general, so far so good! My husband was very supportive of the idea and likes our new addition :D And I am so happy that Yoda has a buddy, especially for times when we’re at work so he isn’t lonely.
