Comment on How to Quarantine a New Budgie by Carolyn Peters

I didn’t know that I had to quarantine the new bird for 30 days, as I never had 2 birds before. I did place the new bird in a separate cage, but the 2 cages are in the same room. The older budgie flies freely all day, except when I’m out. So, he’s already met the new guy and they’ve been interacting through the cage bars for 2 weeks. When I found out about quarantine, I put the new guy in another room. But the older one became very quiet and stayed in his cage rather than flying around. I think he felt really sad that his new playmate had disappeared. Is it worth it to keep the new bird in quarantine for another 2 weeks when they’ve already become attached?
