Hi and welcome to the community. I'm very sorry you have lost previous Pippin, and you have my sympathy.
I've homed budgies for many, many years. Females do tend to have dominance problems at times, especially now that spring is here. This is the time for bird hormones, mating and eggs.
In my view, your best approach now is to give each one their own cage. I am concerned that they can get into a fight and either, or both of them could be injured.
It is entirely your decision as to getting them a male friend. In the meantime, put a couple of small mirrors in each of their cages, and they can play with their mirror boyfriends. I have always put mirrors in my budgie cages, and they love them. Even pairs love them. Budgies seem to be a parrot species that do not have hormonal issues with mirrors or bells. Some species do have hormonal issues with mirrors or bells in the cage.
I know you will miss Pippin, and I do not think you need the sorrow of having to part with the other two. It is not necessary if you keep them in their own cages! Please let us know his this setup works for them!
Fly high and free sweet Pippin...over the Rainbow Bridge!
