cape parrot advice

[niamhk]

So i will be getting a cape parrot next week! i currently have 1 sun conure 1 GGC 1 IRN and 2 cockatiels. the cockatiels live away from the others because of the dust and size. i want to know if you have any advice about cape parrots and also would they be able to get along with my current birds? they won’t be in the same cages and for the first month not in the same area and i can keep them in different places if necessary. Any advice would be appreciated

also the cockatiels will never meet this bird but i wanted to ask about size. say if there was a bird similar size to a cape parrot in the same room. would that be safe?

I have no experience with Capes but you can read through this thread for some information.

The attributes listed in this thread are the experiences of each individual and your experiences may differ with your individual bird. This is based on my experience with my now 2 year old Cape parrot, or Grey headed parrot (Poicephalus fuscicollis suahelicus) The Good - When a Cape decides...

It's good that you are planning on keep the Cape separate from the other birds for at least a month. Always good idea to quarantine a new bird.
Congrats on getting your Cape.
