Introducing a baby bird to our home

[jorjan]

Dear Bird Lovers,
We've adopted a feisty Sun Conure and couldn't resist a baby African Grey. She will be coming home soon. We've never had two birds at once so I'd like some advice on introducing these two properly. We are retired, therefore have the time to set things ahead of time. The Conure has a happy history with a Senegal but not humans sadly, but he is doing quite well with us.
Thanks for any input,
Newbee Jorjan

Because of the beak size I would fair to say they may never be able to "play" together. It does happen but mostly with birds raised together. Large birds can do serious damage and often just the different species dont get along - ESP with greys. BUT BUT BUT, they will benefit from the other bird company in the home. Its proven fact that many birds suffer less stress when housed with other birds under the same roof even if they never share a cage or playstand.
