I have a hand fed 3 months old male cockatiel which is very tame and very bonded to me. When he sees me he whistles loud he is opening a little his wings and looking at me to take him out. When out he is all time on me or around me playing.
The problem is that I can spend only 1-2 hours a day during the working days (which is not much) and 4-5 hours a day in the weekends (which is OK). So I consider getting another handfeeded female, because I don't want him to be alone in the cage when I am not there.
I intend to have the female in a separate cage for quarantine but also to get bonded with me.
My question is: if these 2 tame and bonded with me birds get together and become a couple how will the things be with me? Will they still be bonded with me? Will they come on me? Will they want to be peted from me?
Of course this has to do with the birds personality, but what is the most possible to happen? I would not like to end with 2 birds that I only feed and clean them and can not touche them...
Thank you!
