african grey living with ringneck can they?

[markjaide]

i have had my grey for about 2 yrs now ive recently been given a ringneck parakeet but i only have the 1 very large cage is it a good idea to keep them 2gether?

[lovemyGreys]

No i'm afraid they will need seperate cages.Your grey will not take kindly to sharing his cage & will very likely attack the ringneck.

 

We have a welcome room please come in & introduce yourself

A separate cage is a definite must, as others have said. Greys are very protective of their homes, toys, food etc. They may become friends after a while, but that will remain to be seen. You will need to closely monitor them if you let them out at the same time.

Yes, no sharing the cage! Plus, you don't know if the new bird has anything or not so it must be quarentiend away from your grey for about a month.

 

If you post a photo I could tell you what kind it is. There are many types of Ringnecks...Indian, African, Alexandrine, and some that are closly related like the Plum-Headed Parakeet and the Mustache Parakeet.
