Good morning everyone!
I have had a quaker baby for almost 3 weeks....he's (we call him a he lol not sure though) he was about 9 weeks when we got him. 12 weeks now.
We decided to get him a playmate since they're both so young....
Both have been handed fed and sweet.
Our new baby is about 9-10 weeks....and the 1st baby is mean to the new one. He won't let him eat and he bites at him alot.
I have them in one large cage...should I separate them or what do you guys recommend?
I searched for my problem and came up with a lot of different threads but nothing exactly like this....please forgive me if it's already been discussed.

Welcome! I would definitely recommend separate cages for your two QPs. In time, the two parrots may get along better, but for now, it's best to keep them apart. There may be jealousy on the part of Quaker #1, and he may resent the intrusion of a second Quaker into "his" home. Your first QP should be treated with "first parrot" protocol-- first to be greeted in the morning, first to be fed, first to get one-on-one attention, but last to be put to bed at night. That usually makes a difference in #1 Parrot's attitude toward Parrot #2.
