One lovebird or two lovebirds

What do you think about the fact of buying a lovebird rather than two?
Do you think the lovebird can live happy beside at the owner such as near to another lovebird?


Cosa ne pensi sul fatto di acquistare un'inseparabile anziché due?
Pensi che il pappagallino può vivere felice con il proprietario, come vicino ad un altro inseparabile?

I think that depends on the bird. I mean, if the bird was handraised and bonds better with people and is happy with people, then I think it is fine to be a single bird so long as it has several hours of bonding time.

However, a bird that clearly does not like people or is untame and not able to be tamed, another lovebird is the best option.

The best balance is the ones who are a bird but enjoy a human's company... Like our Munch. Does not want to be held, touched or anything unless it's on his terms, but he does like us and enjoys us around. Yet he knows he is a bird and is perfectly happy. He has his brother for a companion when he wants, but he does not like to share his cage space with Mango or anyone really. Mango will get a mate one day to bond with as he will be happier with a constant feathered companion

What I think ....
Keeping them in cages confine their habits and suppress their instincts, it is right that they are not alone in a cage, keep them with their own kind when we are away from home or engaged in our daily lives can only be positive for them.

Come la penso io....
Tenendoli in gabbia limitiamo le loro abitudini e sopprimiamo i loro istinti, è giusto che in gabbia non stiano da soli, tenerli con un loro simile quando noi siamo lontani da casa o impegnati nel nostro quotidiano non può che essere positivo per loro.

... sono d' accordissimo con Iris!!! Purtroppo nessuno di noi può passare 24 ore al giorno con il proprio pappi vicino... Neppure solo 12
... io noto ad esempio che la mia piccola nigri Nikita è sempre attaccata alla gabbia nel lato in cui io la lascio in contatto con quella delle coco e chiede spesso a loro bacetti... li ho anche visti rigurgitarsi del cibo attraverso le sbarre delle gabbiette... mi devo proprio decidere a darle un compagno!

In my experience, I have to admit that the hand-fed birds can live very well with their owner;
the important thing is to spend too much time with them.

as far the parents-fed birds it is different; I agree with Casey even if Iris and Alby say right things because it's daily very difficult to provide at our birds the same quantity of time.
Thus a mate can replace our presence also for the hand-fed birds.
