Answer by Answer Dancer
thats probably not the best idea. but it all depends on THEIR discian. if they like each other, and are of the same gender, then by all means, if they fit with much room to spare, do it! if the complete opposite of all that, refrain from doing so.
hope i helped!

Answer by William S
No, they cannot coexist together in the same cage. Even if they did happen to get along, which is doubtful that it would continue, you run a huge risk of them injuring one another at some point in time.

Macaws are very sensitive to birds that give off lots of dander, which African greys do, so your Macaw would suffer greatly from being in that close a proximity to your Grey. I do have both a Grey and a Blue and Gold Macaw and I have to run air filters in their rooms to try and keep the dander in check, and they are not even in the same room and even still the macaw will still occasionally get the sneezes.

Answer by Shortie
No, even if they get along they should not be housed together. The Macaw is bigger than the Grey and can hurt it in an instant. I know different sized birds can get along really well, but it’s just not safe to house them together. You never know when they will all of a sudden get into a fight, and if you’re not there to stop it immediately the Grey could be gone in an instant, not to mention severe injury can and will occur even if you are right there to break it up. They can play together, but not stay in the same cage. I have a Sun Conure, who was previously owned, and she shared a cage with an Eclectus. They were great buddies, as I witnessed them together, side-by-side, but it was risky on the owner’s part.

Answer by mercedez j
NO they cannot and you should not let them!!

They may get “along” for righ tnow, and you’d have to have a GIANT DOUBLE MACAW CAGE that 80″longx40″widex80″tall. But even then your taking a chance. Any cage smaller is a huge NO NO NO.

An african Grey is a very dusty bird. Your macaw can and very possibly DIE if live near a african grey or any other dusty bird (cockatoo, cockatiel, etc), you need HEPA air filters, and the dusty bird and tropical bird should be housed clear across the room if at all possible.

Absolutely NOT.

I guarantee someone will get seriously hurt if you attempt this.

They each need their own roomy cage, toys and food.

some birds fight birds they don’t like, some humans fight humans they don’t like.
