Can an African grey parrot live with other pets?
Can an African grey parrot live with other pets?
Yes, the coexistence between an African grey parrot and dogs or cats is perfectly feasible. In all cases it is necessary to make a proper presentation. It is also important not to get carried away by the euphoria of a new member and temporarily neglect the attention to the other pets. If it is a dog and a parrot for example, we should reward them both when they are in the same space and remain calm; this way they will associate that every time the other one appears something good happens to them. Avoid scolding the dog when he tries to get closer to smell the parrot. If we don’t want him to come closer, we better call his attention to another activity or object and reward him for coming to our call. For special cases such as other exotic pets or dogs with behavioral problems such as predation aggression, you should consult with a professional to establish a plan for presentation and daily coexistence.
