- Shades: African Grey Congo Male, hatched June 20, 2016
Hello everyone,
I'm Erica and I am going to soon purchase an African Grey Congo. I just wanted to hear everyone's (anyone's) thoughts, opinions, and suggestions on owning a mid sized parrot. About my family, there are 5 of us, including my husband and 3 boys ages 17, 12, and 10. Everyone is on board and is excited about the new edition. Oh, and we have a cat also. She is very stand offish and likes to keep to herself, so I honestly don't think she will be a problem.
I've located a breeder in Austin by the name of JC Aviary, and so far, he seems trustworthy and reputable. If anyone has dealt with him, kindly share your experience, be it positive or negative. I was hoping to get a bird by mid July, but I just made some travel plans for the end of September, so I've decided to delay my purchase until after I return. I don't want to leave the bird so quickly after bringing him/her home.
So, what do you veterans recommend as far as cage size, number of toys, wing clipping or no wing clipping? I'm sure there are many other things I could ask, but I am not sure where to begin. That's why I am here. Please throw some ideas at me. I want to learn from you all.
Thanks in advance,
Erica
