When i bought her i was told that she was raised by her breeder ( a male) which is why she loves Adam him more than me we live in a semi-detached house and although she's still a baby Alex can get loud if she wants ...

Advise about an Alexandrine

Hello, i was hoping that there might be somebody on here who could help me. I'm considering buying a 4 month old Alexandrine, but i already own 1 yo Indian Ring neck and am a little worried about how they would get along.

You could always do what i do for my nephews....I collect the gift cards that i get given and wash them clean (so they are safe) and they are happy to play with them. My bird has a plastic card at the moment which is hanging up in the cage and he doesn't seem to mind it :)
