Questions about adding another bird to the family!

[Juno]

Hello everyone! Just have some questions about adding a second birdie to the family
So currently I have Juno (pearly conure) who is about a year old. She is very friendly, has flight and gets along with our budgies when theyre in the same room. I have hardly any problems with her.
Now my question is, how hard would it be to introduce a new bird (a quaker) to the situation? They would be living in the same room (seperate cages of course) and I would like to aim to be able to take them both out at the same time with minimal conflict.
I already found a quaker that I've fallen in love with at a local pet store. He's clipped (not an issue) & way over priced but he is the sweetest!
As much as I like this quaker though, Juno comes first so any advice you could offer is more than welcome!
Thanks

When the new fid has settled it's probably best to introduce the two in a neutral room away from the cages. Have another person there to handle one of them and then talk to them and bring a little closer to each other. Watch body language and dont push things.
