  1. I have a tag, a cag & an amazon. All 3 turned out to be girls. I got my second grey, a cag ( rescued her) when my tag was almost 2 years old. NONE of them are bonded, they don't seem to "like" each other..but tolerate each other. They have established a pecking order...They do not hang out together, when they are in their cages, they seem to care about that ( all 3 cages are on the same side of the room) they have no tolerance for sharing. They each have their own spaces, they accept that when one flies over, the other will go to a different spot. I do on occasion have 1 on each shoulder. There have been territorial fights to which I have to run & put a stop too, but usually one will fly off rather than engage, I keep an eye on them when they are out. 2 weeks ago, I was cooking pancakes in an electric frying pan, I didn't realize 1 of of my greys were on top of the fridge next to the pan on the counter..the other grey was in the cupboard above the fridge. I was taliking to my daughter on the phone which makes my amzon yell, I went onto the bathroom so I could hear her & what a fight that happened. When I heard the commotion, I RAN out yelling & it was too late, my Cag fell into the pancakes & burned all the little feathers off her ankles! Poor thing, that pan was at 300 degress! I felt horrible!!!! She was fine, but had flown off to the her safe space. I got her & she stayed on my shoulder for comfort. There is zero guarantee they will like each other. But they will learn to co-exist. In my opinion. it is a 50/50 chance. You have to ask yourself, IF they don't like each other, are you willing to allow them to co-exist & keep them as happy as they deserve, & if they don't bond ..are you willing to commit to a lifetime with them..if the answer if NO to the latter, then don't get another one.

  2. You'd likely have the best chance of it working with her being so young than to wait. But there's no guarantee. Just have a Plan B in place in case they don't accept each other. Of my 11 birds, only 2 have bonded. Those are of the same breed and were introduced at a young age. Two of my other birds like to play bratty games. They tolerate each other, but would prefer not to have the other around. The rest of my birds have to come out individually. Would love to see a picture of your baby!
