I am considering two african greys. I have quaker parrot experience, I have rescued several. I have never owned or handled an african grey but I have done my research. 1. Is just over a year old, hand tame for the lady but hasnt received as much recent attention. Never learned to step up for whatever reason. This lady has a lot of large bird experience. My concerns with this bird are that it does not know how to step up which creates a problem for me where I have to pick or reach for the bird. If the bird is off of the cage I am going to have a hard time getting it back on or in. Suggestions?? 2. The second bird is one that has not been out of its cage for a long time. years ..Was intended to be a breeder. Has little hope for a novice like me to rehab him/her, but would have a good life with me. My concerns here are obviously how will it be to function with an untrained bird? Changing toys, cleaning the cage. Is the quality of life for this bird going to be good if she cannot come out of the cage? I would appreciate any and all advice.
