Hey y'all, i have been given the chance to have a second baby grey... My Baby girl Tali is currently just only 7 ish months old and now I have been offered another weaner grey, from a different breeder. His name is Ira. i have already got a good bond with Tali and I thought that maybe they would keep each other company while I'm out milking cows every morning, or occasionally over at my partners place.. would I be able to keep two greys in the same cage? Will I lose my bond with her if there is another grey ... esp being a male? My flat is small and I would not be able to fit a second cage inside. please tell me what u think. It's a big cage and when I'm home, Tali is not in her cage much at all. She's on my shoulder around the house or yard or on the couch exploring, teasing my cat, or having a sleep on me haha!

I have often thought about getting another bird (possibly another grey) in my household and I have looked at these cages as well. My major concern is that they could bite each other through the central divide. If I were to get another bird, I would want them in separate cages to begin with. Then I might consider one of these cages if they did get on. My biggest stopper for not getting another bird is 'what if they don't get on'? My attention is already divided between my two cats and Alfie. If I added another bird to the mix which needed to be kept separate from Alfie because they hated each other then that wouldn't work for my household - I just don't have the space provided (or the time) to be able to juggle the requirements of two birds if they can't be in the same room together. My advice for these types of questions is always 'plan for the worst case scenario'. If you can handle that, then you're probably safe to go for it. If there are any doubts then I would reconsider.

I have this cage for one of my macaws. The downside is that the center 'slider' space is a collector for poo, shredded toys, etc. It's a very annoying cage to clean. I have a painted one, which my macaw has chipped away in places. I need to replace it due to the exposed areas of metal.

Trying to get one of these into Nz.... missions hard that's for sure! Silly little country doesn't have much selectionsu

Do you think that I will lose that bond with either of them? As one is male and one is female... i know they don't reach sexual maturity till 5/7 years old but will they bond and shut me out before the hormones kick in? Or will I still have a chance to bond and have two great house pets? I know all birds are different but what are ur experiences

Personally I'd have a different cage for the new baby. Just because they are young doesn't mean they will get along. with each other.

Mine occasionally get red palm oil or coconut oil in their veggies. Hemp seed goes into their birdy bread along with quinoa, eggs many fresh veggies and some fruit.

No magic wand so we just do our best working to keep them safe and as entertained and happy as possible. You did save Suki from his prison enviornment and you fought to bring him home. Not many of us live in what was our natural habitat any more either.

Over the long haul the biting seems to come in waves. Or maybe it doesn't? It just happened again a few minutes ago. We were eating lunch together. The sandwich was done. The lights were out. The curtain had dropped. It was time for my little guy to go back in his cage. So I picked him up, bobbed him up and down, and told him how much I enjoy sharing food with him. But Timmy didn't want to go in his cage. He did the one-foot-down thing and then bit the ever-loving life out of my wrist. And I couldn't get him off me! So my mom barges into the kichen screaming at me and banging on Timmy's cage. (I'm worried that my mom is going to kill herself, but that's another story.) What do I do? Ever since my parents got these damn dogs back in 2012, my poor bird has had to spend so much of his day in his cage! :( This is so sad, and I don't know what to do!
