My question here isn't really all the details, but rather.. the safety of the two species.
I do not have a lovebid yet, but my future roommate has a cockatiel (very friendly with other birds, and a very nice bird) and I know I'll be getting a lovie when I move out. I know most of the general safety concerns (Quarantine, don't leave them together unsupervised, keep them in separate cages) but I'm just worried that I'm overlooking something.
I've never properly introduced two new birds together, let alone different species. It'll be a new place, so it'll be fairly neutral territory when it happens. I know to keep them supervised, even when only one is out - in case of toe biting or bird bullying. I figured I'd ask AA if there's anything I'm missing? I want to be prepared and make sure neither of our birdies get hurt.
