Hi All!
Really enjoy the wisdom that comes from this Forum.
I have gotten myself into an interesting situation that could use some of that wisdom.

To make a long story short I have the opportunity to get one and/or two TAG’s. Not to mention, one is definitely female and the other, though not DNA sexed yet, looks strongly to be a male. One other point of note, they are both babies. About two weeks apart from birth. Is there any pros or cons to having two? Anybody out there have two TAG’s? I have to make a decision quickly and hope to hear from you Veterans soon.
Thanks in advance!

Blessings,
Scotty

Hello Scotty
Well I have got two CAGs but I got one when he was about 12 weeks old and then after a couple of years I got the second, also aged about 12 weeks. They are both very tame and friendly although one is very much a "one person bird". They have never shown any sexual interest in each other and they never groom each other but they live together in one large cage.
It really depends what you are looking for, if you get two babies they may relate to each other more than to you and they might not become as tame and reponsive towards you as a single bird. Or, there could be jealousy issues and they may vie for your attention.
However, having two means they are company for each other although it doesn't necessarily mean they will mate.

Pete seems to be well settled because he is in a room with 3 other birds. So company is a good thing, even if you have to keep them in seperate cages.
