Re: african grey

Have you thought about getting 2 so they have company?

It is still feasible to have one grey, but from a young age which would be easier to get it into a routine. As long as you don't end up doing lots of overtime and the periods the bird is on it's own could be more.

I work Mon-Friday 8 hours a day and own a cockatoo, she is very happy and has never suffered because of this.

She gets a good 1.5-2 hours every morning with me, then she is out all evening with me and has me every weekend.

Its very important to have a large cage with plenty of toys to rotate so the bird never gets bored.

Good luck!
