Question
Can I put the new birds in ith the old one right away or should I keep them in different cages for a while?


Would four tiels get along or are they better in pairs?

Would four budgies get along or are tehy better in pairs?  

Answer
If you already have birds at home, it is necessary to quarantine new birds from your existing flock for at least 30 to 45 days. (In seperate cages, seperate rooms, etc...).

You will also need to get any new birds a "new bird exam" from a qualified avian vet.

Birds live in flocks of hundreds of birds in the wild... so they can get along in 2 pairs... or single pairs.
