A friend found out I was researching birds with the intention of getting one for my family, and she wants to GIVE me her two greys. In all honesty, they were her mothers, but her mother passed away and my friend is in the military and doesn't have the time or inclination to keep them. Also, they remind her of her deceased mother, which is another heartache in itself. Which leads me to my current situation - I have not owned a Grey before and have heard they can be a little more intense than some birds. Is getting a PAIR of them a disaster waiting to happen? Can they be kept together in the same cage? Also, she SAYS her mother bought 1 male and 1 female (siblings) but I am wondering if I need to worry about them breeding?? Also, as far as anyone can tell, there has been no DNA-backup to this gender claim. If they truly do bond to one human, what happens if we have 2? I will be the primary caregiver (though my children will help) - but does this mean they will both bond to ME? They are 8 months old, and from what I can tell are very "well behaved" (not sure what the appropriate term is in reference to birds). They aren't overly nervous, feathers are beautiful and intact (no stress plucking), they have no problems around my children or myself... HELP! What would you do??
