One gery or two gerys

Hi All

I will soon received my first congo african gery by end of this month. Should I start with one bird and get the second bird later? Or get both at the sametime. Thanks!

I can only speak from my own personal experience & im sure other members will share their advice with you.

 

I only ever intended to have one grey but i followed 2 eggs hatch & two greys develop.I was unable to pick one from the two & took home both babies.I was told by various people that the greys would bond with eachother & not myself or my family.I have found this to be totally untrue.My two boys were hand-reared & very well socialized with humans.We continued that when we brought the boys home.They have never lost their interest in us humans & i do have a bond with them both. if you intend adding a second grey at a later date then i would say go for two babies now from the same clutch if possible,if you are prepared to socialize them & make the effort it will be far easier than adding a second grey at a later date which can encounter many problems.

 

There is some good advice in our nursery section on socializing baby greys,please have a look through

Welcome Gery!!

 

I agree with LoveMyGreys. If you want 2, do it now. As chicks raised together, they will consider each other just memebers of the "Flock", which of course will include you. :-)
