Hello,
We have a very sweet mellow 14 year old female BH Pionus. We've had her for 6 years. My husband is her soul mate. She is a very laidback and extremely gentle bird, a bit of perch potato but we taught her to fly so she gets around the house when she feels like it. We also have a bird friendly small dog and our 2 year old son.
I work from home now and I am lonely during the day. Our Pi is sweet but she lives & breathes for my husband. I am thinking seriously about adding a second bird. I want an adult, not a baby, and I've found a nearby family who is looking to rehome a 4 year old male IRN. She's sent me quite a bit of info and it all seems very legit. She describes him as a very sweet, talkative, even tempered bird (as far as IRN's go) who is being rehomed because he's being bullied by their eclectus and because he now attacks the owner's son. The owner's son raised him from 10 weeks but then got a new gf and the bird was very heartbroken and jealous. She says the bird is otherwise very friendly, has regular vet checkups, and is on a good diet of Roudybush and chop.
What are you guys thoughts? Anything to be aware of going in to getting an IRN? Our Pi is so, so chill, and I'm aware that most other birds are not.
