It's best to put new birds in their own cage, and consider quarantining them as well before introducing them to your current flock. Any way to put her in her own cage????

Its NEVER a good idea to put a new baby in with a pair if there isnt plenty of room. Yes even grass keets. More food cups need to be spread out. If you want to hand tame it then you will need to keep it in its own cage near you.

I agree with huntress and monica. I had a couple of females in the same flight with a couple of males and the more dominant female would not let the other one eat or even perch. It's really best to separate them because they may kill each other!
