Hello everyone I recently bought a 18 year old Grey from this older lady, ( i bought her in december)she (the Grey) is so quiet, she does her whistling thing, and sound effects, but almost never comes out of her cage during the day, she comes out in the evening, when the sun goes down, I am thinking this is because of my U2,(Umbrella Cockatoo) she plays a tiny bit, she has alot of toys that i have gotten for her, both wooden and plastic) from the petstore) She eats like a little pigglet though, lol so am sure she is healthy, and she is on a pellet diet as well as veggies, and bits of fruit, a few almonds... Could this be because of her age? Second question: I am getting another Grey, I feel bad for the poor guy!!! His parent died in December, so this guy bought all his birds at an estate sale, course the poor guy got stressed and started to pluck his feathers, Now the guy had him for 3 months and selling him, so i thought since i have some experience with them, I might buy him to save him from going to somewhere where he will be further stressed out, Can i put both birds together? The new bird came from a home with several macaws, a cockatoo, a amazon and one other parrot, so he is used to it, but i am wondering if it may stress him out further, or will it offer comfort for him, I want to make his life as easy as possible. Will he continue to pluck? Thanks everyone,
