Can I Introduce an African Grey?

Hi, I have an adorable Kiki named Zuzu. He really is a gem. He has a huge cage, which is approx 6 ft tall and 3 foot wide (we spoil him). He comes out regular and flies around the house, and sits on my shoulder and is into everything. I also dedicate playing & teaching time every day so he does not get bored. In his cage he has so many toys, which he loves also. It's my birthday soon and my partner wants to buy me an African Grey parrot to add to the cage. Does anyone know if this would be OK? My dad had an avary and kept all breeds together with no problems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

It will depend on the personality of the 'Grey
All you can do is try and have a plan ready if it doesnt work out
Watch them close.

I used to have a suphur crested and kakariki together as house parrots yrs ago
