    Hello all! I am looking at getting a Congo African Grey and am wanting some tips and information on them, even experiences from owners who have them, literally anything anyone can give me. I’m not ready for one quite yet, probably not even within the next few years as I do have a cat and am...

    weird (barbered?) feathers

    I've written about this problem a few months ago, but it was just a couple feathers. Now they're all over my almost 1 y.o. CAG's body. I don't think she could've done that herself, because only new feathers look like that. i noticed that when a new feather is almost ready, it's already like...

    Odd feather.

    I was helping my 8 month old CAG with her pin feathers and i noticed some feathers that are almost out, but they look weird. Is it normal for them to look like this? they only look like this on her lower neck and back, right below her beak - the feathers look healthy and fine.

    African grey plucked (?) feather

    my 8 month old CAG is going through her first molt and she's having a lot of feathers falling out. I collect them and put them in a little album i have, for memories. Yesterday i found these two at the bottom of her cage. They kind of look chewed off, compared to the others. Did she pluck them?

I've only ever had budgies and small parakeets, so I was wondering if anyone has recommended places, stores, breeders, rescues, etc. to find an African Grey? She knows it's...

    Update on Bobby

    Hi all, I’ve had Bobby the Congo African grey for about 10 days now so thought I’d update on how he’s doing. All in all, he’s actually been doing wonders.

    Parrot Offering Head Seemingly for Pet Before Lunging/Biting

    Hi all, Despite what the title reads, this hasn't happened to me. Bobby, the parrot I've received two nights ago though has an extensively aggressive history of attacking people. One of the common behaviours he would do would involve lowering his head towards the bars, seemingly in the...

    Hi all, Last night I finally went to retrieve the much unloved family parrot, Bobby. He’s now safe with me in a new scary environment, starting off from the basics, but I recorded our initial meet up at collection. Ultimately I can say the situation was extremely tense. Bobby used to like me...
