Violet has finished quarantine!
I wasn't sure how they'd react, so I put her smaller cage next to the bigger one and both the doors open. Very quickly she slipped across and just sat on the edge of the cage.
Neither of the boys has paid a huge amount of attention to her, nor her them, but she does seem to like being near them.
We had a little drama the first night when she sat on Biggle's favourite swing. She compromised:
Not quite sure how long she "slept" like that, but she was there for quite a while.
I have noticed she is much quieter than them; other than occasional "I'm here" squawks she says very little. She's not going to be pushed around by them though. Biggles has tried nibbling her (very small) tail feathers a couple of times and she's not having it.
She's also much less active than she was in the smaller cage. She's mostly sitting there watching.

When it is the boys annoying the girls, I liken it to naughty school boys pulling the girls' pigtails - looking for attention in a boy kind of a way.
