Its good to hear that you have considered the option and analyzed the pros and cons. I thought I would mention it as the option often gets overlooked when people are thinking about a new roomie.
I totally agree. I have been checking petfinder just in case, but I have mostly been calling local pet shops and checking Craigslist/breeders
A radio is better than listening to silence within a home but foraging for food or other rewards is more stimulating and will help keep their minds busy. Just imagine sitting or standing around alone for 8 hours each day with nothing to occupy your brain.
Absolutely! It would be horrible! I will totally provide my teil/parrotlet with a radio, and some foraging toys? That would be okay?
