Question
Hello,carol
im shaharyar from pakistan, im very crazy about african grey's breed, so i want to buy wild birds from market and want to breed them so can you help me by telling that can i keep 4-6 african grey parrot together, can they be pairs?
Thankx.

Answer
No, you cannot keep more than 2 birds in a cage together no matter what. I would start out with ONE pair of birds to breed to make sure that you know what you're doing and don't get overwhelmed by the number of birds. Even though the parents will raise the baby, it is still a lot of work and you should start with ONE pair for now. Each pair needs their own cage.
