Hello, we have two 18 year old African Greys that we have been in possession since 2002 . They were caged together initially and we named them Sonny and Cher. Cher was terrified of me in the beginning but after a couple of years of patience and nurturing she loves being with me. Sonny is more temperamental and he likes to dance to music but he gets moody sometimes. We have 2 cocker spaniels and they get along great with the birds as did our other spaniels that have since passed. Our birds are in good health and get a variety of foods . Cher loves mash potatoes and Sonny loves pasta. They both enjoy scrambled egg and chicken . Well that’s all I’ve got to say for now 😁 Thanks Colin

I'm so sorry you lost your grey and as no one here is a vet we are clueless as to why it happened.

Welcome to the forum! Yes, pictures please!

Welcome! Would love to see pics if you have them.

Regardless of the cause, I'm so sorry for your loss

So you want a parrot and you go down to the local pet shop to see what they have. You see one that looks nice and you plonk down many $$$$`s . It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You look at cages and the big one cost a lot of money. So you buy a smaller one. It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You think to your self that you don`t want to chase this bird around the house so you have it`s wings clipped. It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You buy plain seed because pellets cost a lot of money. It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You take this parrot home and put it in that small cage put the cage in a corner and go watch TV. It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You did not take the time to build a relationship or to form a bond and your parrot is alone. It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You find smoething new and now you don`t have the time to spend with your bird. (what little time you gave) It`s your choice, Not theirs ! If my fids had a choice. I hope their choice would be. To spend their time with me !
