can we put two African grey parrots in the same cage?

we can test but we have to be careful because they can fight, is it is necessary to see also their behavior between them but before that, you have to have an idea about the behavior of parrot The body language of African grey

is that true ??

Odds are good they will fight, and they can do some serious damage to each other. Mated pairs are the only one who can share a cage, and even then it needs to be a BIG cage, so they can get away from each other a bit. Like, you love your spouse, but would kill them if you were locked in a small room together long enough

Keeping two large parrots together is a risk. They could turn on each other at anytime. How big is the cage?

The cage is probably not a good size to keep two in. They can't really get away from each other.

Here's a video that talks about housing parrots together.

Here is the article that is mentioned in the video.

Hope these help.

I suggest either keeping the two cages next to each other and seeing how they do and if they even want to be together or getting a double macaw cage and allowing them to be side by side until they want to bond. Just as long as you’re okay if they don’t. I run a parrot rescue and while some do bond, the chance of injury is high too. We have a hormonal female grey that tries to kill the male that was surrendered to us several months ago. They’re like people in that respect: sometimes they click, sometimes they don’t.
