About a two weeks ago I bought Milo a new cage a his was getting a bit rusty. After 5 years I suppose he needed a new house, lol.
So I was planning on giving his cage away for free to someone who could sandblasting and redo the cage, but needed something bigger for their baby.
So, I advertised on the local classifieds, not mentioning price as I felt strongly that as long as they don't put a too large parrot in the cage and have it redone before using it, I don't mind not making any money on it.
After posting the ad I actually changed my mind and decided to donate the cage to our local parrot rescue.
Anyway, today I get a call from a guy enquiring about the cage, so I told him sorry, it is already gone. His reply was that that was a shame, as on Saturday he walked outside and found an African Grey in his back yard, and is now looking for a cage for it.
After putting the phone down, my gut told me that you would only be looking at buying a cage if you we're planning on keeping the parrot. And that just won't do. Someone is probably desperately looking for their baby out there.
So I got onto Facebook and the local classifieds and found 2 people who recently lost their African Greys. Phoned both of them and supplied them with the gentlemen's number as both were still searching for theirs.
I haven't heard anything back yet, but please hold thumbs that at least one of them gets reunited with their grey!
