Answer 1

you are suppose to have new birds in quaratine not just throw them in with the bird that you already have. you never know the new bird might be sick.

you should deffinetley do re-search if you did than you would know this already.

Answer 2

I belong to a yahoo group in my area called freecycle. Look to see if it is in your area and post on there that you are in desperate need of a cage. And, yes, you should separate them.  

Answer 3

Yes! Seperate them.

You said you don't have a cage. So if you have a dog pen with small holes put your bird in their.

Also if it is a good sized cage get a piece of cardboard or wire and split the cage into two areas.

Answer 4

you should separate and put them together wen they are older if she is new than she may not be used to vegetables

Answer 5

you would probably need to seperate them but since thats not an option id have to say just give it some time.if you can take out the old one(if its tame) for a little while,let him know you still love him.if they are both tame, try to hold them both at once on your arm.all i can say iss to give them bpth attention and calm them down and let them get settled and wait a little
