Hey everyone! Just found out today the sexes of my two greys. Navi is a female (after being called 'little man' for a year) and Nelly is a male. They are both coming along nicely. Only had Nelly for a couple of months but he is the most friendly bird ever! He loves cuddles from anyone and everyone where as Navi is slightly more picky, but she will still step up for anyone, even strangers. We are very lucky to have them both. They both get on well, they give each other lots of cuddles and preen each ohter but would prefer human conact to each others. Didnt expect to have 1 of each sex and im aware it will be about 4 years IF anything happened between them but I do not plan to keep them seperated, Its nice to see them together so is there a chance they may breed? I know very little about bredding and am worried that if it does happen that they may not ever want human contact again. any info/ideas? xxx

That’s brilliant news Jane! I must admit I couldn’t resist keeping them apart. They both sat on their cages in the same room and seemed very happy. I thought Navi might have got all fluffed up but didn’t, they quite happily sat as near as they could to each other and preened themselves quite happily! Fingers crossed it stays this way! Navi was a bit confused to see the baby flying though, still not sure as to whether to get it clipped, navi has been but still doesn’t realise and he is constantly sky diving off his cage to get to us if we leave the room! Praying he doesn’t hurt himself! So this is why i'm dubious to clip the baby! Still have no name for the baby. So at the moment it’s called the baby or 'it' lol

both doing well, baby loves being with you! Havent introduced them yet, think im going to leave it till I have the vet check out the baby to get the all clear. Navi keeps looking through the glass door to see the baby though! Quite funny! Hope they do get on!

Hi all!! Im new to this website and im so happy ive found it, already had a reply to one of my questions so its so nice to know help is out there. Well i now have 2 greys, One i picked up this morning! I have one called Navi, he is a year old and is a right little character! he loves everyone and will go to anyone so its nice to know that anyone can handle him, even strangers! He even answers 'whats your name' with 'navi navi'! Clever little thing. My new grey come home today and is currently settling in! Havent yet got a name for him/her....think its a he and looking for names begining with an N so if you have any ideas let me know! We simply couldnt resist him, he was so so tame, wanted a cuddle from everyone in the pet shop and is even already imitating people already! He also hasnt even tried to bite and steped up onto my hand without any fuss! Really looking forward to seeing what comes of him! Looking forward to hearing about all your greys too!

Thanks very much for your advice! Its nice to know there are people who i can talk to about my grey! Quite new to them so always have questions that i want to ask! ha ha! Many thanks x

Hey people, very excited, brought home our second baby grey today. Had the other one for about a year and we love him very much but couldnt resist this new baby! he is amazing, so so tame and loves cuddles already. Need to teach step up etc still. Wanted to know whats the best thing to do, we want to make sure the new baby doesnt become too attached with navi my other grey but i also want them to be friends. Have you any advice on how long i should wait before letting them meet. Or any info on this subject. Many thank! Ria
