Okay, thanks for the extra information. I'm afraid your first concern may be that you have not observed a minimum 30 day quarantine with your new baby. Unless the store you purchased it from absolutely guarantees the health of the baby (and for more than a few days or a couple weeks) it's very possible you have exposed your resident bird to anything the baby may have picked up while in the store. I realize that is now water under the bridge but it is something you should be aware of and stay very alert to any indications of an illness. You would probably be appalled and the high percentage of birds that are sold sick, out of pet stores, foisted off onto the unsuspecting public, all for the bottom line. Just wanted to give you a heads up on that issue.

Now for the introductions. I am hoping they each have their own cages, at least for now. Your older bird is behaving exactly as I would expect him to. There is a trespasser into his space and his flock and he is not going to be happy about it any time soon. He is going to need your constant reassurance that at least among the bird residents, he is still flock leader. When you enter the room, speak to, and interact with him first. When leaving the room speak and interact with him last. Put him first in every thing; first one to get fed, first one to be uncovered in the mornings, if you use cage covers. He should be the last one covered at night. If you take them out to play and interact, he gets his turn first. The biggest worry he has right now is that he is being replaced, in your eyes and in the flock as a whole. Your goal is going to be to insure that he remains totally secure as respects his place in the pecking order. It's impossible to give you a prediction as to how long this integration may take. It's going to be partly your powers of persuasion in reassuring him and partly just how spoiled, and bonded he is to you. Jealousy is a big thing in the parrot world and he is going to be jealous of everything that involes the baby until he is convinced that he has nothing to worry about. For awhile, you are not going to want to allow them out of cage time, together. Even while you are only letting one out at a time, I suggest that there is constant supervision until you feel confident there are not going to be any altercations. Baby is not at all likely to try anything aggressive. But he is a baby, he recently lost his own flock and now he is going to want to fit in with the new flock as soon as possible. That could send him over the big brothers cage to try to make friends. If big brother is not ready, somebody might get a toe nipped, or worse. When big brother is out, he may decide to go right over to baby's cage and see what he can reach through and nip. A lot of this introduction process has to be played by ear, observing their actions and reactions. When the blatant, in your face, challenges subside, then you can start working with having them out at the same time but still under very close supervision. As with all things parrot, patience and consistency is going to be the answer. I really would consider taking them both to your avian vet for a check up, just in case. If there is any kind of health issues going on, far better to get it nipped in the bud. Easier on the birds and easier on your budget. I hope these suggestions will help you out but if you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask. Best of luck to you. Patricia
