? about a 2nd Grey

[Dave27563]

Hi all.

We have been offered a second grey the same age as Charlie and i am wondering if i can keep two Greys together in the same cage? I know i will need to get a bigger cage so that will help Charlie because they will both have to get used to a new cage instead of Charlie having to give up some of her cage. I also know that it will take a bit of time and a lot of patience. I would love to have the second Grey but not at the expense of Charlie.

So please any advice would be appreciated.

Regards

Dave & Charlie

People do but you would need to do this very slowly just to make sure they like each other. Maybe someone that keeps pets together well come along with more info. I only have one grey.

I have heard that 2 greys that were with each other from the time they were babies have a much better chance of staying in the same cage. Otherwise they probably won't get along but if you do get the other one what Tari said is true. Introduce them slowly and never push for more than they will allow, and I would never allow them close together without your close supervision. Maybe in time the can be caged together but you should be prepared to have them in separate cages if it does not work out.:unsure:

That's a tough one. Like Judy said, it's easier if they were little. Maybe some good advice will come along to help you with that.:dry:

You cannot keep two Greys together in the same cage. If they get along they will bond to one another instead of to you and they will not be tame. Having two Greys is completely fine but they must have their own cage. Unless you're trying to pair-bond for breeding or something ... but I'm pretty sure from your post that that is not your intention.

I agree with Monique, my uncle breeds with CAG's, if you put two tame Grey's in a cage, they will only bond with each other, maybe someone else in your household want his/her own CAG, then you can all quack together!

Thanks to all for your advice. I can remember reading about the Love birds we have, that two together can not be tamed because they will bond with each other.

Thanks again to all advice given
