judygram Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I would be careful of getting them too close to each other, greys don't get along well with other greys unless they are brought up from babies with each other. They may never play together, but they can co-exist in the same house but not in the same cage. It might take a while for them to be comfortable with each other so give it some time. Welcome to the family, Celina, glad you joined and looking forward to hearing more about these two greys. Post some pictures of them if you have them, we love to look at photos.

CeasarsDad Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Celina. Welcome to the family.. Glad you joined.. Judy is so right. They may never play together.. I know that's really not what you want to hear but it is a real possiblity... In fact, i would watch them that they don't start fighting.. That is a real possibility..

dblhelix Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hello Celina and welcome. Good advice here. I know of cases where adult birds have been introduced to "new" birds that have become great friends and complete opposite cases where the birds attack each other. You need to be careful, introduce them to each other in controlled environments and do not leave them alone together. Many people will begin an introduction with both birds caged and in the same room. Sounds like you went right into a hands on intro...just be careful and do not leave them unattended. A fight could be really nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Celina welcome here It's like with everything, I think. It might turn out both ways. If they dislike each other they indeed might start to fight. However, it might as well be that they'll get used to each other (under supervision, I would advise you) and become good friends.
