Two female Sennie and Meyers in the same household?

[Skarila]

This is more or less hypothetical question.

I am mostly interested if anyone has experience with housing two female poicephalus parrots in the same household (separate cages, ofcourse.). I scoured across the internet and everyone seems to have either 2 males, or a male and female! This makes me a bit scared.

I know for a given that females are much more territorial, and Pois in general are kind of solitary birds.

In the end I will be "rescuing" 1 year old Meyers, she is a very shy sweetheart, but seeing she is not afraid to go on the couch or the floor, I believe she will have a lot of potential to work with. I simply wish to give her a chance.

Now the thing is that my partner has a 10 yearold female senegal who is living with his mother, who is elderly now. it can happen that we must take over Aina tomorrow, maybe in 5 years. My only fear would be how would the two react. Because the two birds are poicephalus, they will understand their body language, which makes a bit easier, but I am mostly interested for those who were in similar situation, what is the chance that they will respect their boundries/teritory?

In the same household, yes! But not the same cage.

Assure a 30 to 45 day separation and an Avian Medial Professional New Parrot physical.

I'm certain that the numbers of male /male, female /female and female /male are fairly commonly across the board. It is likely a reporting issue or not knowing that is the real issue.

It is a given that the bird will be quarantine and visit our birdie vet when possible, but maybe you're right, maybe people simply don't share this fact about the gender issue if there is none...

But I am certain that our Sennie will be the bully, if any of them will be a bully. But, that is really years appart... After the quarantine and vet visit we will slowly start introducing them yo one another.
