Question
I have two gliders from different homes one male one female and I'm introducing them . I had them both in her cage last night and they were not fighting but he kept touching her nose and extendind his arms out showing his wings. Is that ok and when should I just let them stay together . I love them both and don't want to hurt them

Answer
Beth,

I've never heard of that interesting behavior.  If they are not hissing, crabbing, or biting, they are probably fine.  However, I wouldn't keep them together without supervision until you are sure they are getting along.  If possible, put them in a pouch or bag and carry it around with you while they are sleeping.  That way they will bond with each other and with you at the same time.

I hope this helps.  Good luck,

Betty
