worried my bird is lonely
hi all, i have a cocketiel and she is 11 months old..i really would love to put another cocketiel in with her as i know they like the company but worry about her reaction as she hasn't seen her own kind, i worry it would do more harm than good??? and also what size would my cage have to be? the one i have now is fairly big but not sure it would be suitable for 2 birds...thanks! :>)

I should thing she would love a companion, but heathfield's idea is excellent. Do you know someone who would lend you a cage whilst the birds get aquainted? Your vet or pet shop might help with this.
I used to have four ********** (two pairs who didn't know each other before we put them together). All was fine.
