In my personal experience, grays are very hard to make bond with another bird, even another gray and even with a sibling. I had a brother and sister that were raised and lived together their entire 8 years staying with me for 9 months and they completely ignored one another.

Yes, you need to change the diet asap.

As to his name, I would use the first one he got because that is usually the name they recognize as their own. I got a Yellow Nape Amazon from his second owner, he had changed his original name, Zeus, to Oscar but I call him Zeus and, although he never did react for a couple of years to it (he had been abused by his second owner and had severe aggression issues from it), once he started feeling more like himself, he did and, now, he comes when I call him.

Ok I will keep the name, I think it was Khemin Pascal. I will change it, I'm trying to get him to eat different foods as they fed him seed his whole life. Thank you for the help so far, there will be many more questions to come hehe!

Welcome! I also have a CAG :) They are fantastic! That is a great picture :) It makes me think he's saying " what are you doing with that camera?! Let me take closer look at that - I might need to taste it" lol

If you really hate the name and the bird doesn't say it, you can change it to something that sounds very similar -like Kevin instead of Khemin - although I think that Khemin is a great name, it means one who brings or enjoys peace.
