If you decide to adopt this second bird please practice proper quarantine. Keep the birds separated for 30 days (at a minimum).....you will want to consider vetting the new bird as well to make sure that he doesn't have diseases that your existing bird could catch.

I have never owned a lovebird, I own cockatiels and macaws mainly. I would recommend separate cages AT LEAST until they've had time to form a bond.

I have two of my five cockatiels caged together, the other three are separated. There are many cage manufacturers that offer double cages with a center divider. This kind of set up could prove ideal for two birds---if they bonded---remove the divider---if not, keep the divider in place.

Hopefully someone w/love birds will respond.
