conures separated?

You can put them into separate cages in close proximity to each other. If they are pair bonded sexually mature birds, this will still work. If you are meaning to give one up, then you may have a serious problem on your hands with the one left. Parrots mate for life, and when a mate dies or leaves, many go into severe grief mode and can starve themselves to death, so if they are still immature youngsters and/or a mated pair, just get another cage for one of them, and you'll be okay to go. The grieving is very real as the parrots feel all the same feelings we do when they lose a loved one whether it be to death, being moved away or having the mate moved away.

You can also find cages with dividers in the middle which would be ideal for two birds. I have my bonded Amazon pair like this in a double Macaw cage as the hen picks on her mate to the point I had to separate them. They are still very much dependent upon each other, so the divider allows them to be together without really being together if you know what I mean.
