Im sorry you are dealing with this, Fawkes looks like a sweet, beautiful soul. I really hope she finds a great home!
I had my CAG in the same bedroom with our Severe Macaw and Senegal parrot for 18 hours/day for 15 years. No air filter or anything. My avian vet never mentioned a problem. Does anybody have any actual data saying that this incompatibility is a real problem?I talked to my avian vet and my macaw is not likely to develop asthma from proximity to her so I will not be rehomin Fawkes at this time. Thanks for reading the thread
I already have a Severe Macaw and I am very interested in getting an African Grey .. is it possible to have them in the same room as long as they are not in the same cage? maybe just use air filters or humidifier?Sadly, I have to rehome my brothers African Grey. I bought her as a chick 13 years ago from Petsmart for my brother and served as her babysitter and secondary care giver until five years ago when I became her primary caregiver. I also have a blue throated macaw and a special needs sun conure who don’t handle the dust from Fawkes well despite baths and filtration. Of the three, Fawkes would do better in a new home. She is in perfect feather, loves to quietly sit on her perch in the room with you, doesn’t talk but communicates through specific whistles. She has worn a flight harness but hates it— it’s the only time she’ll growl. She can bite when frightened but has never bit me. I want to find her a good home where she can be in the same room as people on her stand and be loved and cared for. I don’t want her to go into a breeding situation or an overcrowded sanctuary or be resold to the highest bidder. We are located in Stover Missouri and I will be doing a home check before releasing her to her next home. She will come with her cage, toys, and food.

No. I rehomed my macaw instead and am keeping my grey. The macaw went to a much better home with more time available for her than I have on my farm. So it worked outDid you find a new home yet?
