With 'he will be in the living room as to net get lonely', I mean the Timneh African Grey Parrot, by the way ^^

Hello. I introduced myself in the introduction forum. I'm thinking of getting a Timneh African Grey Parrot some time this summer. However, I have two questions, of which one main one. Main Question #1 - There's one thing I'm RREEAALLLLYY scared for. You see, I live with multiple people, including a maid, and I'll be home for only about half the day, while the made and one of the girls are here all day and one of the guys gets home about an hour or two hours before me. He will be in the living room as to not get lonely, which only makes my bonding concern bigger. I guess that gives a hint of what my question is. So, the question: if I am the only to handle him, train him, clean his cage, rotate his toys and give him fresh water and food, will he bond with me, or is there still a big chance he'll decided to bond with the mate or the girl? I'm thinking of getting a girl, because, though I know it's false, people say guys bond better with girls and girls better with guys. Please, if you answer this question, I'll love you for life!! Also, are there any things I can do to make him bond with me even more?? In a few years I'll be living alone, or with only one or two people, but for now I'm pretty damn worried. Helpppp!!!! Question #2 - I heard it's better to, after you purchase your african grey, immediately go to the vet. I think I'll do this, but... is there a big chance the breeder / pet shop will have gone already? And if so, should I trust him/her with the health papers or whatever? 'cause, though I'm thinking of going, I'm not sure if I will. If I don't go, can you please give me every single hint of an unhealthy baby (just weaned, probably, maybe a bit older), Timneh African Grey? So I can check him by myself a bit? Thanks in advance!! =D

I just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Michael Fields. I'm thinking of getting a TAG pretty soon, maybe some time this summer in July. I'm thinking of getting a girl, but I'll see who bonds with me If he/she is a girl I will probably call her Luna ^^ Well, that's all.
