First off, I have NO intention of breeding. No babies here haha. I have a GCC and a Sun Conure, both DNA sexed female. I found my dream bird, a male Turquoise GCC, from a reputable breeder a few hours away. He'll be weaned about the end of September and after a 30 day quarantine with a friend who no longer has birds, he will be coming home

I know with rats, which I've had for 8 years, if your house females and males in the same Room they can become more hormonal and edgy. Is the same true for Conures?

The Sun is in her own flight cage and I have a set of large stack cages, one on top of the other (30"L x 18"W x 30"H each). Will this be OK or do I have to put him in a separate room? They will NEVER have contact.

If you are not going to breed them and they are not going to be in the same cage, I don't think there would be a problem having them all in the same room.

It would probably be good to have them all in the same room though, that way they can keep each other company. I don't foresee that as causing any hormonal problems. I'd just keep an eye on it for a few weeks and see if there is any discernible difference in behavior(s). Ie, sudden agitation, aggression or acting out etc. If that begins to happen then you'd probably want to try different rooms - but otherwise I think they should be fine.
