African Grey for Adoption

[BirdBrains2233]

I have a 3 (almost 4) year old CAG that I have raised since he was hatched. Due to current health and money issues, I can no longer care for him the way he needs. He talks well (no colorful language), not a plucker, healthy appetite, great feathers, hand tamed but starting to withdraw due to the attention I can no longer provide for him. He has been on a pellet and fresh fruit/vegetable diet from the time I was no longer hand feeding him. He is very social and likes to be around people and even interacted with my kids well.
I am currently located in the Greenville South Carolina area and can arrange to meet within a reasonable distance. I WILL NOT ship him so DO NOT ask!!! You must have Vet references showing you have cared for previous parrots as I will not let him be adopted by a novice handler. I am asking $900 for the adoption fee. I will not post pictures here, but if you inbox me with your cell number, I can text photo's of him directly to you in his cage and being handled... maybe even a video call so you can see how he responds.

I am not taking losing my companion lightly so please contact with me with any questions before I change my mind.

I'm sorry for your troubles maybe he can be fostered for a time to see if you and your finances recover. Prayers with you guys.

Hmpff...

You can post pictures here if you like, its no big deal.
This is not craigslist.

This is a great forum and you would be lucky to find someone here to take your beloved bird.

would you consider trading for a spoiled blue and gold macaw that never bites or screams?

fur-shur no way, dude!

Good luck.

Hope you find a great home for your grey. Things like this happen!

Thanks for the replies so far, but my health issues is something that I will be unable to recover from and the finances are due to the health issues.... vicious cycle it seems, but S*** happens!
I give it another couple days to see if there is any interest, if not I will come up with another solution. Thanks for the support!

Hi,
Is your CAG still available? We lost our grey recently and can give him a loving home.
