Okay, here's the deal... I am seriously considering adopting a 5 year old senegal parrot. I already have a quaker and 7 budgies who stay in our living room. After I fell in love with this bird and pretty much committed to it, I realized that I don't have a good place to quarantine it from the others. Even with an OK bill of health from the vet I know you're still supposed to quarantine for 30 days. The only place I could put him would be in our bedroom, which isn't far away from the living room. I believe the air would still circulate and it wouldn't make much of a difference if he was in the bedroom or other side of the living room. So what should I do? I'm sure other people have adopted birds who live in small living spaces. Do you think him being in the bedroom with the door shut as much as possible would be good enough?
Another problem I have with it is the whole reason this bird is looking for a new home is because his current owner just doesn't have the time to give him any interaction out of his cage. So he doesn't get much attention :( I would feel so guilty if I had to keep him in the bedroom for a month because all the activity is in our living room. This sennie is a pet, and the owner also has another bird and she claimed they are healthy and never had a health problem.

Would it be so terrible to keep his cage on the opposite side of the living room as the other birds? If everyone really thinks he should be further removed I will put him in the bedroom. I just have never had to deal with this before so I'm not really educated on this matter!

Thanks!
