Introduce them in a place that neither thinks is their "nest". Also, give the birds treats when they demonstrate calm behavior. Gradually move them closer, but stop when they start seeming anxious or territorial. Wait for them to calm down, then give them a treat. If they seem aggressive, back them apart before one has a chance to attack the other or they could end up hurt.

i would just have them in the same neutral room and gradually bring them closer and treat when they are ignoring the other or behaving in a good way. hey! when that other bird is around ..i get treats! avoid any unpleasantness. and keep meetings short and sweet. :gray: :amazon: :cockatoo:
