Might keep him, so help me please!

If many of you have noticed, I posted a thread about looking for a new home for my aunt's bird.

However, I'm thinking of keeping him, not sure yet. If I do keep him, have three cages is too much, so I would like to see if I can get S'mores and Oliver to share the same cage. However, I have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE on how to get them in the same cage. I tried looking online, but so many sites give different info that I don't know which to listen. So.....

I need all of your advice. What should I do if I want to keep Oliver, but need him and S'mores to share a cage. Thanks for anything.

I have never done this Diego but I would imagine you would have to get them used to eachother out of the cage first and then see if they like eachother. If so is there a chance you could get one large cage for them instead of the 3 small ones. That would be easier on you.

Yes, if I can get them both to like each other, I will buy a bigger cage for them both. But in the past, when we visit each other, Oliver tries so hard to be friends with S'mores but she picks fights with him, and tries to hurt him.

At least she's a loyal daughter who doesn't run off with boys

That's hens for you . The boys want to make friends but the hens are standoffish.
Don't worry, it doesn't take long for them to bond and get used to each other!

I think a male and female should do OK. Now two girls is usually trouble!

Alright. Sounds good to me. But if I wanted to, could I use plexiglass to separate the cage in half?

How about putting S'mores with Bartleby since they know each other? Do they get along with each other?

I wouldn't use glass to separate the cage. If they panicked in the night they could break their necks.

I think I'd have better luck in getting a vegetarian to eat meat. lol. They love each other in their own cages, but in the same cage, they'll try to rip each other to shreds. lol. Had a few close calls.

Alrighty, thanks for the tip
