As Judy said, she will adjust to your lifestyle, as long as it is consistent, greys love routine, so have a routine & try not to deviate it from it to much
As for the diet, offer fruit & veg in the mornings, i agree remove the seed at night but once you know she has a good feed before bedtime.
Good things come to those who wait Frank, i knew you would find that corner ;)I'm sure the job front will be the next bit of news, Who could resist you ? Good luck for the next few weeks & i look forward to having you back

As BMustee says be perpared for two of everything to begin with, once you know when your new grey will be coming home set the cage up for the new arrival & talk/tell your exsisiting grey what is going to happen,start useing your new babies name in the house this will help your grey to accept something is going on.Once home supervize them both at all times, As your grey is still so young you do have a good chance of then getting along,bear in mind they might not ! I wouldnt advise taking your grey on visits, just involve him in the ways i have said

Alfie & Freddie always had brooder male heads as opposed to the roundish female head, my breeder thought from day one they were both boys & they both have been sexed as boys Their feathers are still dark.
