Hi, Whether it is another rescued bird or not will make make no difference either way. Before introducing a new bird, quarantine it or them, in their own cage, in a separate room for a minimum of 1 week. Adding birds into a cocks cage is usually not a big problem but adding a new bird of either sex into a cage with a resident hen or hens, is something not to be taken lightly. Hens can be very territorial & have been known to injure or even kill new birds of either sex introduced into their cage space. The way round this problem is to place both cages close together for a few days after the quarantine period & then let them fly out together several times. If they get on you can try them in the one cage, but prepare for the fact that they may never get on together in the same cage.....B.J.
