well this one's very timid
so I'm spending hours every day getting him used to coming to me for treats, I was thinking of getting one that's at least hand tamed to encourage him

A Lovebird?
They get on well, and there's plenty out there.

well this one's a blue-crowned conure
so another conure would be ideal if possibly a bit noisy

I might see if there's a sale on

or BOGOF

Very noisy
I'd be looking at rescues if I was you.

Maybe a Minah, or a Cockatiel.

They'll do a bit of pecking order at first but they'll get on.

I have two Minahs.

Just as I was reading that he's launched into a mad squawking fit
Minahs are fantastic, I remember a friend of the family had one that spoke so convincingly you'd swear it was its owner's voice if you were wearing a blindfold.

A rescue bird would be ideal. Not sure how well conures get on with other species but most parrots seem friendly enough together. I shall research this
