Chance flew

The big problem with grays is that other birds don't make a big difference to them. They tend to get very attached to their humans and want no other company but theirs. But, what you can do is get her used to your going out as an 'every now and then' part of the routine. Parrots like their routine but an occasional different thing, if it becomes a semi-regular thing it's fine with them (it's like their life in the wild, they go out foraging every day always at the same time but, if there is a big storm, they don't - so your leaving the house is like the big storm, not what they would prefer but not anything to really worry about because they know that everything will go back to normal after it). What you need to do is always go out at around noon or early afternoon (because this is the time they nap or rest and she will miss you the least), always say the same phrase (something like "You be a good girl and mommy will see you later -bye bye, baby, bye bye") so she knows what is going to happen and, at the same time (this should be right before you leave), give her an extra good treat (like a peanut -my birds would do anything for a peanut and the sky could be falling on them but they will eat it anyway -LOL) and, when you come back, always say the same thing (like "Mommy is home!" or something like that) and give her another treat. This way, you won't interrupt her daily routine, your going away won't catch her by surprise and confuse her, and she will learn to anticipate and concentrate on the treat instead of your absence.
