Default More than one

I wondered if anyne on here kept their greys in pairs?

do they prefer to be on their own or have a "partner" if so would you keep them in seperate cages?

Default pairs

Hi
Well I breed greys, I keep them in pairs and I aslo have a 8 mnth old female on her own in the house. I do this because I want her hand tame until she gets to two yrs,i will then place her with a male, I find that when I am pairing up greys I put both the male and female together straight away, but I place them both in an avery they have never been in, I think the new surroundings makes them a bit nervous and so they bond fast. my breeding pair love been with another bird but when I come into the avery they always run over to me to say hello, so alone or in a pair they are fine, just make sure you give the alone bird time

Mine hate eachother and cat be trusted alone. Possibly I would consider giving Emma and Sydney a shot at being friends, but the problem being, I dont trust him getting to excited(he'll bite) and she has the twisted neck which leaves her vulnerable. If he bites her neck, he'll kill her.
