I put money down on a conure that’s going to be coming home in two months.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve been hearing not to put it in the room that you’re not going to be in regularly, but I have a small living room in my apartment and already have three chatty budgies.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

So the only suggestion I can think of is putting the budgies in my room leaving the conure out here for daytime and putting the budgies in my room.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And the conure in my room to sleep before I leave for work at 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All 4 birds are too much noise in the living room and they will not be able to fly to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are your thoughts thanks?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Carrie<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your plans are incorrect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your bird should have its cage in a room that is frequented often by you and your family.<\/span><\/p>\n

Isolation is no fun for any birds. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The budgies have each other of course, but can be quite entertaining for the conure too.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you feel that it will be too noisy with the 4 birds, perhaps a conure is not the bird for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They are VERY noisy.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you plan to do, shut the bird up alone in a room all day while you are gone?<\/span><\/p>\n

You will end up with a miserable pet.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please rethink this.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The writer did not respond to my reply other than to post a Bad Rating.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The person wrote to us asking our opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now did I get the Bad Rating because I was wrong?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or because she didn\u2019t like my answer?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please post your thoughts below.<\/span><\/p>\n

“To be clear, Carrie B knows little about bird care.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will not acknowledge information from an expert.<\/span><\/p>\n

Accepts bad advice from the wonkers on Facebook.<\/span><\/p>\n

She buys a bird knowing – upfront – she has no room for the bird and it will be too noisey.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sound the alarm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tell the local rescue to look for an incoming conure”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carol S. comments:<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m commenting on Carrie B’s bad rating about a conure and budgies in the same room. I agree with Mitch completely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a 22-year-old Dusky Headed Conure. <\/span><\/p>\n

About 5 years ago my granddaughter, who lives with us, brought a sweet budgie into our home. <\/span><\/p>\n

We placed their cages next to each other in the living room. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was noisy, I agree, but they were much happier together than they would have been alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, both learned each other’s calls!<\/span><\/p>\n

Emmy, our conure, definitely continued To be the dominant t bird, and we never left them alone while they were out of their cages, but they even learned to take baths at the same time!<\/span><\/p>\n

It was really cute! Ocean, the budgie, unfortunately, died last Summer, and Emmy continued to call for her daily., and occasionally does. <\/span><\/p>\n

I believe Carrie gave you a bad rating because she didn’t like your answer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Conures are wonderful companions but it sounds as if Carrie should maybe stick to budgies.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
