Adding a CAG to our family and looking for any advice you all have

Hey its been a while since i posted last so heres a quick update. We are proud owners of our first fid, Morgan (see pics below) he is almost a big beautiful 3 years old and is one of the most wonderful, funniest bugger i have ever had the pleasure of being with.

My wife has gotten the itch to add a bird to our little zoo and has been watching our local breeder/bird shop where we got Morgan to see when they would have some new babies. Sure enough a few of decided to lay a few eggs about a month ago (apparently on a off cycle for these birds). We have gone and checked out the new babies and settled on the one she liked the most and are awaiting the time when we can take him/her home.

What should we do to prepare for our new addition. Cage is a DUH and we are already in the works to get it set up and all. What do we need to know as far as bring the new fid home. I have heard the words quarantine and several other ideas from other post.

Any help would be appreciated. I promise to have pictures asap.
