clover77 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Hi! I need some advice. I have a 17 y/o Senegal and a 12 y/o Sun Conure. A coworker was given 2 greys 13 & 14 y/o, she got them from someone who cleans house for a man that can no longer care for them (he also had a sun conure) she has decided that she doesn't have time for them and asked me if I wanted them. My hubby & I are going to meet them tomorrow. The poor things have been through a lot leaving thier home and now being uprooted again. I want to make things as easy as possible for them. They will be in the den with my sun conure, everyone being in their own cage. My senegal only likes me and my husband and she has her own room and tv. She is brought into the den occasionally to glare at the sun conure. I need tips on how to keep things as stress free as possible for the new guys.

Jayd Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Sit back and relax, be natural. Remember who the flock leader is right now, and introduce the new flock to them first. Watch for a few days to see what happens. A lot of times Greys and Conure's get along, I would guess they will all keep to themselves. Some times, Sun's will try to aggravate larger parrots, conure's have no fear...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clover77 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks for the encouragement! I think my Sun will like the company, my senegal will have nothing to do with her. The greys had a sun in their original home so hopefully they will all get along. Things are going to get pretty interesting around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I can attest to the fact that suns have little fear, they think they are big parrots in a smaller body but I keep some distance between my sun and my grey and they are fine with this, the only thing is a grey will mimic most anything they hear and that includes a conure's screams but she doesn't do it too often.
