[cbalvino]

Hi all,we got Jillie ,heres the story, she is blind we are told? don'treally know,may not hear well again don't know,had a mate as she was a breeder,who had to be put down due to a tumor,my hubby and I think she seems sad,do you think we could get a cage mate for her? should it be a meyers too? any suggestions to make her happier thanks all

It's hard to say if she would do fine with a cage-mate or not... If she can't see well enough then she may completely reject the idea, and possibly hurt the other bird. You could try setting the cage up with various platforms and ladders to help her moving around... try handling her and getting her tame may help, as well as talking to her frequently.

Glad to hear you took in a blind bird :)

I would have to agree with Monica, it might not be wise to put another bird in with her..but then again??

Maybe having another bird cage close so she can hear the sweet chirps of other fids may be nice for her :)

Good luck with your special needs fid :)

Does she like people??
