By couple, what do you mean? Are they bonded with breeding abilities? If they are bonded, you will likely have issues separating them. If you do it, I would suggest putting their cages right next to each other so that they can still communicate, and then when you take them to train, take them completely out and away from the room that their cages and other bird is in, that way they can concentrate on the task at hand without worrying about the cage and other bird.

I had some and a child let my male out and he flew away (they weren't in cages, they had stands/tree) My completely healthy female died 2 days after he was gone. They had been together 16 years. I think she died of broken heart. They get sad when their mate is gone, birds have very strong bonds, specially those that pair up. Although switching cages wouldn't be so dramatic i think it would still stress them out, which wont help you train them. I guess is depends on how close of a pair they are
