Hi,

I would think by the time you have bought your next 2 young irns, the first one would have made a nice home and claimed the space as his domain, plus being older of the 3.

Also depends on the size of the cage etc.

I would keep the second 2 in another cage and introduce the 3 slowly. If all goes well for a few weeks or so, the you could try seeing if they will all live happily together in the one cage.
Before allowing them all in the one cage together, I would advise changing the cage around totally with different perches, different positioning of perches, move feed and water around, change/add toys etc. You want to change the total look of the cage so the older one doesn't recognize it as his.
