I currently have a budgie and I feel like she gets bored alone since I can't spend time with her because most of the time I'm at school. I spend time with her when I get back from school and when it's the weekend. Is this enough for her or should I try convincing my parents to buy another bird
Get a fake one that looks real, bring it back, and see how your parents react. If they accept, replace plastic bird with real bird. They'll never know the difference.
Haha, I had one bird and wanted another too. I just went out and bought another, it took my parents a whole month to find out I had another budgie. Luckily my parents didn't make me get rid of him although they were pretty angry.
I suggest you just go out and get another.
Get one anyways, what is she going to do? Worse comes to worse you get yelled at and she takes it back to the store. I wanted another guinea pig and my mom said no but I got one anyways and she got mad and yelled at me but didn't take it away or anything. She let me keep it and wound up loving it. Just have to deal with getting yelled at
Get a small radio and turn it on quietly during the day in your room while you are at school. The bird will enjoy it's programming and be ready to greet you when you are home as well. Most toy birds made for kids can't actually do much and requires you to push it's buttons, your real bird can get territorial over one made for birds and become a little nippy around one... a problem you'll not have with the radio tunes.
