Hi everyone, I'm a new member residing in South Africa. I've been reading the posts on this website for a long time, and have finally decided to make a post. I have a 5 year old African Grey named Jolly. He is the king of our household, in other words really really spoilt. He's a happy bird with no behavioral problems at all, but he's very wary of strangers and doesn't like meeting new people.
Anyway, we're moving to a large house soon and will be getting a Labrador pup. Now I am very very worried about introducing a new puppy to our Grey and will appreciate any advice or warnings. Jolly has seen dogs before. When we first got him at the age of 3 months, we had a Husky which lived outside, so they were never really in contact (because I actually watched that dog eat a live bird once). Our Grey never seemed afraid of the dog, but we had to give the Husky away a few months later because our yard was too small, so I don't really know what his feelings towards dogs are. My main concern with this new puppy is that Jolly will become jealous and start plucking. So if anyone has any tips on how to bring this about smoothly, thank you!
