Posted by Cheryl on 7/14/2005, 4:09 am, in reply to "Amazon or African Grey" My best bit of advice would be to buy a parrot from a breeder who has hand reared the parrots. Otherwise, if you buy an older parrot he/she may never bond with any neither you or your husband. Once a parrot has made a bond with someone, it is very difficult to break that bond. So if you buy a 12 month old parrot from somebody, you may have problems. --Previous Message--

Hi Cynthia, the african gray is the more cleverer parrot. But more expensive too. I think most parrots make a bond to one person but it doesnt neccesarily mean they will show aggression towards another person. I have a grey and she has made a bond with me, she just makes grouchy noises when my boyfriend handles her at the first chance she will get, she'll jump off him and on to me.
