I have two African Greys, a female that I've had since it was a baby (now 1.5 yrs old), and a male that I recently brought home (3 yrs old). My female is always knocking the new guy off his perch -- will she ever accept him as part of our flock? Is there any way I can help them along?

Go slow. Always do stuff for Fawkes first. Let her out first, feed her first, etc. And give them a place when they are out that they can get away from each other, don't force them together if they don't want to.

i have the samee situation, my female CAG Buddy is 6 and in April I got a second CAG, he is a 4yr old Male. I don't intend to mate them, he just happened to be a Male. But when I got him, I knew they may not befriend one another, and I haven't tried to ask them to. I have only put them on the same playstand about 3 times since April --6 mos. I could tell my female was jealous of him, she is bonded to me. He also has become bonded to me, so they may always be jealous of one another. I don't know at what point I can begin to trust them just sitting on the same perch, but I may just try a few minutes once a month. They reside in separate cages on opposite sides of the LR. I don't know how much attacking is just playful testing, but I don't want to start something. Nobody has attacked yet, by my female did open her beak and lean toward him, so, I just put her on a higher perch. But I don't trust them together.
