Whilst African Greys do form a bond with their owner's the bond does not appear to be as strong as that of Amazon Parrots.

Unlike Amazon Parrots bonding seems to be more dependant on the hand that feeds it rather than an attraction towards the opposite sex. The more people that feed and interact with the baby the less likely it is to want to bond to just one person.

When looking to purchase a baby African Grey be weary of buying one that has been excessively mothered by its hand rearer. A strong bond may have already been formed. Breaking this bond could cause problems.
