What should I look for if I add a female Cockatoo to my home with a male African Grey?
Question by Life Is Just…: What should I look for if I add a female Cockatoo to my home with a male African Grey?
Currently, I own a male Timneh African Grey, he is attatched to my fiance and, typically isn’t interested in me for more than the occassional kiss.. So, I’m concidering adding a second bird to the home and have a love for the Triton Sulfur Crested Cockatoos. I don’t really have a preference for either male or female, but I don’t know how the male Timneh would react to different sexes. I know with dogs its best to add a female to a home with a male dogs, simply for the alpha dominance stuff.. But I’m not certain with birds. The Timneh is 6 years old and somewhat skiddish, but seems to tolerate birds okay outside of the home. If I were to bring a female in, would he lean towards her as a mate, even if she’s a different species? (I owned a male parakeet and a female cockatiel once and he chose her as a mate and became aggressive towards the rest of us) Or would he be more likely to be aggressive towards another male brought into the house? I’m looking to get a hand raised baby.

First thing to consider is the fact that most greys not raised with other species of birds don’t like the different species.
Of course each bird within a species is his or her own persoanality too.
My Congo grey doesn’t like my Umbrella Cockatoo’s, in part I suspect because they are much larger and more active than are greys. Even threating to the greys when wings are spread open and flapping.
The TAG ( Timneh) will not be attracted sexually to the Triton.
However male birds during hormonal times do become very agressive. So with that said and my 30+ years of experience living with and learning about a varity of avain species I suggest you get a female.They are sweeter too.
The only way to sex a bird is either surgery ( not done often any more ) or DNA. Which can be done by collecting a drop of blood from the nail during nail trims and sending to labs that do this. For which I have, but can’t find right now,duh.
Do a google or yahoo search for labs that do dna sexing for avain species – not are are created equel! Or have an avian vet or the breeder do it for you.

African Grey baby falling asleep
Our new baby (hatchdate April 10, 08) is bored with us after his feeding. He really doesn’t have balance yet, so he fluffs up and uses his wings like training wheels to keep him up.

Answer by 7738
they are funny like that, im a stay at home mom and i do nothing but talk to my grey. man, i sing, whistle ,talk whatever and the little sucker wont repeat what i say. well, my husband started saying, “whats up shadow?” among other things and that he repeats!!!! the best part is that my grey hates my husband and he works from 7 am to 8 pm almost daily so he hardly gets to see hm, but still he will repeat what my husband says. he started talking a little better at around 10 months, give him time. i have been told that their speaking abilities improve around 1.5 and 2 years old.
