Hi, Jill.
Thank you for the time you put into your response. No, the
stand-offish budgie is not the one pictured: when I was filling
out the form to post the question, there was an area where I
could post a photo, with an accompanying pic title. I was under
the impression this would appear on the site as a "tag", with
the title of my pic. The pic is of my lost little gal.
The three budgies are male = blue ceres.
I appreciate the general info you provided that applies to both
genders. I would still like to get a pal for my loner guy, but
I don't know how to determine -- if it IS possible -- if a
particular budgie will get on with my budgie. When I brought
home the current new guy, he immediately wanted out of the
transport cage to investigate the two other budgies. My one
budgie that is pals with him immediately wanted to meet the new
guy. My loner guy hid out in the cage.
:(
