technique to getting Toos aquainted

[babybuggerz]

Hi Guys, new to the board, but bin searching the boards for a while. Long story short, I am getting my Utoo in about 2 to 3 weeks, she is 12 years old, but I have been asked to take in a sulfer crested too as well. I would do this for this lady if I knew I can safely have the 2 Toos get along together. My goal is to have them out and about together. They are both females. Is there a technique to introducing them safely?

well the best thing I can tell you is to let them get aquainted to their surroundings first and then get them introduced easily is to put their cages in the same room but not side by side at first . let them talk to each other across the room first and then try to introduce them slowly . and anytime they are out together watch them like a hawk because they are fully capable of inflicting damage to each other . I hope this helps . good luck and congrats on your newbies .I would also quarantine them in seperate rooms if possible for at least 30- 45 days . good luck .

there is never a guarentee that they will get along. You have to be prepared for the worse that they will not get along. Not many too's do. My Ellie (U2) was fostered with 5 blue and gold macaws and got alaong with them, So I didn't think there would be a problem when someone surendered Teal to me. I thought they would get along fine. This is far from the case. Ellie is constanlty trying to attack him (in a hurting and very damaging way). I have to constantly watch her, I can't take an eye off her for a second!
So Plan on them not getting along to start. Don't want to be negative, but it is better to go in expecting the worst and then the best is the ending.
