How do I introduce her to my boy Zazu?
Should I set her up in a smaller cage next to his big one, or do i pop her straight in? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Introducing a female for the first time to my male
We have a 8 year old blue female coming to live with us (in 2 days time). I currently have a 7 year old green male and I would like for them to live together. Its not necessarily for bredding purposes, I just think it would be nice for Zazu to have a girlfriend. The female Bindi needed rehoming and I thought we would invite her to live with Zazu. Apparently she has had a green male partner in the past but he past away a while ago.

You are right to keep them apart until they get used to each other. When you are comfortable with them settled then place the hen into the cocks cage and not vice versa. The hen is usually the dominant one so it's better that the cock is on home turf.
