Need Senegal Advice

Hi,

I have a three year old that I adopted in September who is fabulous! He is totally bonded to my husband but loves and respects me too. We just adopted another 3 year old and want to get advice about how to introduce the two of them and maybe even let them share a daytime play room. We don't know the sex of either of the birds yet. We had the new one DNA tested and will get the results on Thursday. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be so greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ginger

Just do everything slowly & remember they may never be friends like we'd all love our baby's to be!

Id go by after the 'QT stage - move the cages into the same room. Although leaving them across the room from one another, don't leave them unsupervised open doored. Week by week move them inch by inch closer to one another to watch for there reactions - its going to take time if it's ever going to be :)

Do you have pictures of them? I bred Senegals for years, and I can usually tell what sex they are by looking at them.
My advice before introducing them is to make sure they are not two females.
Females tend to be very aggressive towards other females.
(but loveable to humans, of course..:)
