Our Roger was going to be an only bird until I got bitten by the love bug and couldn't leave orphaned Milly at the pet store. From all of my reading, I have differing opinions. Some people believe that in pairs, birds are harder to handle because they bond with each other, rather than you. But I have to say that our two are fine, either way. They have separate cages, and they decide where to sleep each night. Sometimes they are together in Roger's cage, sometimes together in Milly's cage, and sometimes they each go to their own or they swap! LOL!!!

I do think that having a second one is good for company though, especially if they will be alone for long periods of time. I don't regret my decision to take the second one at all.
