    Lonely Male Bobwhite, can I put a female Texas A&M in cage with him?

    I have only one Bobwhite (male) left out of my 4. He is very lonely without his mate, constantly calling for a mate now. Someone is giving away a Texas A&M Female, I would like to put her with my male. Is this okay to do? I am reading a lot of conflicting opinions. Thanks, Quailchick
