Birds can form bonds with each other, especially if they live together or interact often. If you have to separate them, you may notice that both birds are a little depressed after, especially if they were very close/friendly in their time together. Adding in some extra toys and giving a bit more personal attention to the birds may help them cope with the loss of their friend during the transition.
