I think your best bet is a rescue, but it has to be a good one. That’s who you should be vetting.
The ‘shelter’ that said the parrots will forget about one another if separated doesn’t seem to be knowledgeable about parrots. A parrot specific rescue is what you want. I can only speak from my experience in northeastern United States where the rescues have qualified volunteer foster homes that take care of the birds until a very suitable forever home is found. All the birds are checked/treated by avian veterinarians and the rescue extensively checks out all potential adopters. They require a number of visits to the foster home by the adopter to assure the parrot and adopter are a good fit!
I hope you have rescues like this in your area. I wish you good luck and appreciate how you are looking out for your mom’s parrots...you’re a good daughter!
