My second dusky is now out of quarantine. I'd like to introduce my two duskies to each other, and was hoping to get some suggestions as to how to do it in such a way that will help it become a successful 'friendship'.

Any recommendations? Thanks everyone!

Take a look at post #21 here. http://www.parrotforums.com/conures/17568-bringing-home-baby-gcc-3.html

This is how I introduced Molly and Cody to each other following Cody's quarantine period. Aprox three months after their introduction I began slowly putting them into the same cage for short periods at a time and since that time they have shared the same cage. Right now they're sitting on my shoulder preening each other and my hair.

Usually introducing the two birds in neutral territory is best, and allowing them to share a treat together. Hard to say how long it will take for them to get along, if they ever do. It can be instant, a few weeks/months/years or never.
