In April of 2011, I adopted a 7 yr female Timneh, who the previous owner creatively named, "Timi." Timi was purchased through a pet store as a youngster and placed into a cage with a wild caught Timneh named "Duke" for more than 5 years before the owner gave them to the shelter. Timi and Duke were separated due to the strict rules within the shelter of absolutely no breeding. According to the foster mother that was caring for Timi when I adopted her, Timi was quite distraught at the separation, as was "Duke" and Duke was placed in another adopted home. 18 months later, I find out that Duke was not male, but female and is up for adoption. I'm seriously considering adopting "Duke" and reuniting them. This is a very unique situation. Timi is healthy and happy.. we love her very much and we want her to stay happy! We adopted a female congo as well about 6 months after Timi. It took Timi a while to adjust to sharing our attention with another bird, but she is managing well now. Would it be wise or unwise to reunite them? Does anyone have any experience in a situation similar to this? What might some drawbacks be?
I would seriously appreciate any thoughts!
