Hello everyone! Just have some questions about adding a second birdie to the family :)
So currently I have Juno (pearly conure) who is about a year old. She is very friendly, has flight and gets along with our budgies when theyre in the same room. I have hardly any problems with her.
Now my question is, how hard would it be to introduce a new bird (a quaker) to the situation? They would be living in the same room (seperate cages of course) and I would like to aim to be able to take them both out at the same time with minimal conflict.
I already found a quaker that I've fallen in love with at a local pet store. He's clipped (not an issue) & way over priced but he is the sweetest!
As much as I like this quaker though, Juno comes first so any advice you could offer is more than welcome!
Thanks :green2:

When the new fid has settled it's probably best to introduce the two in a neutral room away from the cages. Have another person there to handle one of them and then talk to them and bring a little closer to each other. Watch body language and dont push things.
