just wandering if you could lend a cock bird to stud , think i have an grey hen as he/she is sitting at bottom of cage on a ball of paper and wont move from it except to eat and also goes for me now and again when i try to move it , we only bought the grey about 6 weeks ago and was told it was about 9 years old , but he/she sits on my shoulder and drops her wings down and tries to feed me and now she sitting on a ball of paper , just wandering if you can use birds for stud or they have to be bonded. if so does anyone have a grey cock they no longer want and need it rehomed .

You cannot use a bird stud. They have to be bonded and both male and female will take care of the chicks. If you do find a male african grey there is still no garauntee that they will mate, brds are very fussy, and they may not even get on so you may end up having 2 birds that you will have to keep completley seperate. Also, I don't think they will mate in cages (although I could be wrong) I think they would also need an avairy.
