I recently took in a wonderful African Grey Congo, not like other Greys I have had or seen. This one is VERY talkative and has a tremendous vocabulary. He was obviously loved very much. My question is one of bewilderment. He prefers to stay inside his cage most of the time. He usually comes out only about every third day and spends a little time with us or on his perch/play gym but, for the most part, he prefers to be stuck in his cage. I keep the cage door open almost all day long. For people who have owned Greys for a very long time, have you found that over time, they want to come out more? I have had this one for about two months. I would think he would want to spend more time on his perch or on my arm but, short times are all he wants. What are your experiences with Greys?
FYI: There are many common behaviors among Parrots.
