I recently have adopted male and female Congo African Greys. The male is definitely more dominating and the female has a problem with plucking (a whole different thread.. LOL).
I am debating seperating them or keeping them together. I have two large cages, I spent several hours scrubbing and dissinfecting them from the poor living condition these guys were kept in. Which by the way was always together.
I am trying to tame them and have seperated them at first and which seemed to calm them down as well as going off the sunflower seed diet and other stressful things. Now they act as if they miss each other and I have been making sure they have social time together during the day. In order to keep taming them and training them is it necessary to continue seperating them or should I put them back in the same cage again?
Any thoughts would be helpful, I am a new parrot owner and new to this forum. Thanks!
