I want to get a friend for my budgie

[couchcrumbs]

My budgie is about 8 months old and he is a male I would like to get him a friend to stay in the cage with him because the cage is roomy I am wondering what gender bird I should get and what would be better for him. Im not really interested on breeding budgies and I would like two males would that be okay. And how would I introduce one another to each other ?? Thanks

A male friend would be fine you would need to quarantine new bird then introduce though cages being close together and letting them out together

There is a thread at the top with useful advice called "Does my budgie need a friend", this should help you out.

lol i love your username .

In anwser to your question, either would be fine, personally i would go with a female they're usually more comical to watch. And they tend to form stronger bonds.
