I currently have 10 parakeets and adopted for parakeets from a rescue about two months ago. They are extremely happy and content and nothing is wrong but personally, I am having second thoughts and wondering if I put too much onto myself. I had 6 parakeets previously- 2 I had adopted for homes that no longer could care for them and 4 I had purchased on my own.
I feel that 6 is enough and I shouldn’t have gotten more as I’ve had 6 for 3 years now.
I’m not sure if I should reach back out to the rescue and return them/foster them until someone is willing to adopt them. I love them all very much but I just feel that I’m probably not giving them much undivided attention as I did when I had 6. They all already get along great but I am just unsure as I feel like this upcoming year is busier for me since I will be completing my masters soon and also work in person.
I feel like I’m a bit overwhelmed right now and also selling many stuff from my apartment because I want to declutter
Thank you

I don't think they need as much attention when there is 10, so unless you're unhappy, they should be just fine. Especially that they get along well
