Introduction to Lovebirds

Personatus, you surely know more than me when it comes to Lovebirds. I just don't think it's a good idea to suggest to people that these birds should ever be introduced. I have no doubt that you would be able to successfully introduce two, but I just don't see it as being one of those things you should suggest to everyone. It's definitely not the same as introducing some of the other Parrots. I had no issue introducing my Cockatiel to my Quaker or my Conure... and I wouldn't have an issue saying to give it a shot if it were a different species. However, unless this was a very calm well mannered Lovebird I just don't see it ending well. The size difference is huge as well, it's not like introducing a Conure to a Cockatiel as I mentioned, it's an African Grey to one of the smallest parrot species in the world. There is no guarantee that your going to get a calm, non-territorial, docile Lovebird. They are known for getting into trouble! Even the chicks I sell with a no bite guarantee wouldn't necessarily get along with another bird. I had one little male this time around who was bullying a Cockatiel by 7 weeks, even though they had been around each-other and other birds from week 2. It comes with the species, and I feel it's one of those boundaries you have to respect personally. Although there will always be exceptions, I don't suggest specifically introducing a Lovebird to an African Grey you don't know much about.
