i have a male budgie(butterbean).he was young when i got him. he’s almost a year old now.he tamed pretty quick and by now he follows me around the house and can say several words and phases. ive also got a 5 month old green quaker(apple).apple has not been sexed.butterbean really likes apple.apple mostly ignores butterbean. they hang out together sometimes but they do not live together.my question is can i get butterbean (the budgie)a friend?i want to,i think he would like one,but i have several concerns.male or female?i would like to get a female because it might be neat to breed them someday but i don’t want that to be in the real near future so is there any thing i can do to keep them from breeding?like don’t put in a nest box?and if i do that will she become egg-bound?also since i don’t know the sex of apple will he/she be more likely to fight with a male or female new bird?also will butterbean not like me if he has another budgie living with him?will he revert back to just bird noises and quit talking?any helpful advice would be great.thanks.
