Hello. Im soryr I hadnt seen this sooner. Hope your still
around to see this.

The quaratine time is 60-90 days. So your birds should be
seperated in totally different rooms for that long. PLUS a
vet chech is inorder before the birds can meet.

Then you can put th ecages side by side about 1ft away. Keep
it like that for several months. And as you have their cage
slike that. Have them out together and monitor behavior.
They should be a foot apart so the other has its own
territory to be on, just incase any aggression happens.
