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.<br><b>References : </b><br>bird owner No, even if they get along they should not be housed together.

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.<br><b>References : </b><br> No, they cannot coexist together in the same cage.
