I have a caique and I'm thinking about getting a second bird. Should I get the same species or would a different one be okay? Worried about them not getting along.

I struggled with this too until I started covering the cage partially at night for 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Now it's like a completely different bird.

Oh my bird did this for about over a month and I tried everything. Honestly, time was the biggest factor. They just grew out of it.

This happened to us last winter. I think the shorter days and dry heated air were the cause for my bird.

How old is your bird? That might explain it β my lineolated parakeet went through something similar around 1 year.

Hang in there! It gets better. My blue and gold macaw went through this too.
