First thing is the 30 day quarantine in seperate cages in
seperate areas as far apart as possible to avoid illness
spreading just in case.
They both MUST be 2 years old or more.
Following that there is no guarantee any 2 birds will like
each other just like humans. After quarantine they would
have supervised play time together with cages across the
room from each other. Then cages moved closer and closer
together. IF they are going to bond they would take up
residence in one of the cages.
ONLY then would I put on a nest box with aspen wood
shavings. Not inside a cage but attached to the outside for
easy access to check eggs/babys.
There is no guarantee either will want to be involved with
you personally after bonding but that doesn't mean they
won't either. We never know that one. 2 clutches in the
spring and nest boxes come down until the following year so
calcium isn't depleted from the system making eggs. When
they don't have eggs and babys could be they would want
intervention with you.
You have plenty of time to assure they are both on healthy
varied diets to include healthy veggies, sprouted seeds,
cooked foods and treats. I would give them both 5 drops of
apple cider vinegar in 8 oz of water to help flush out any
minor bacteria. If it's something major they would need a
vet. I do this once a month for all birds.
I pull all babys at 10 days old for handfeeding. if you
want more info on that let me know.
