My son (who is 20 and lives at home) has decided he wants a parrot. He thinks he wants an AGP because he wants one that is smart and will learn an extensive vocabulary. I have read many of your questions/answers, and hear how very much you all love your birds. We love birds, but I don't know if my son (or myself) fully understands just how much work and time will be involved between the messes, feeding, training, etc... (and for 50+ years!) Do any of you have any advice to offer? We have had a "tiel" in the past, but a Grey will probably be MUCH different.
Also, are Greys loving, cuddely birds (if purchased as a baby and with the right interaction), or are they naturally "nippy" birds? I don't want to draw back a bloody nub when I get close!!
Sorry, one more thing...Where is the best place to buy a parrot?...a breeder, a store? ...and what's a ballpark amount we can expect to pay?
I would SO appreciate any words of wisdom that any of you lovely people have to offer. Thank you so much! :10:
