Congo African Grey breeder in Melbourne

[LoveMyParrots]

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone know any good Congo African Grey breeder in Melbourne, Australia?

I have been to pet stores around me with no luck I can order them from pet store, but that would cost a lot. And some pet store sells them for a crazy price! So I'm looking more into breeders.

I might be able to get a Congo African Grey! Since my mum is interested in them, especially their amazing talking ability ( I know, there's no guarantee that a parrot will talk, but mum just love them! ). Anyway, mum said she can think about it if it's under $5000, because a pet shop told us they are usually between $3000-$7000 depending on the blood line.

I have seen some for sale in Perth and Queensland for only a few hundreds from breeders, but can't fine any near Melbourne.

If anyone knows any breeder that sells them for a good price, please let me know. Thank you

I've been to many pet stores in your area and only ever saw one African Grey.
There's a shop in Glen Waverley by the name of 'Amazing Amazon' which had an one for about $5000, but I can't remember if it was a CAG or a TAG!

I dont know if they ship/fly, but the exotic bird breeder in NSW gets greys occasionly, i guess you could ring and ask. but they are very good and all there birds look healthy and not 1 has a feather out of place.

The place is called cystal pet and wire centre.

D: so expensive! I thought only macaws had such expensive prices in Australia, but I guess it makes since since African grays aren't native.

Oh that's cool! Ill see if I can find any that's under $5000 But if I can't any, I'll go to Glen Waverley, beside its pretty close to me. Thanks!

If I can't find any CAG (which is the one my mum likes), a TAG will be fine too.

Thank you! They sounds great! But I'll see if I can find any within Melbourne. Personally, I don't really like the idea of shipping birds, it can be too stressful for them. But I'll see how it goes! Thanks again!

Yeah, African greys and macaw are both very expensive! I think amazon cost a bit too! I believe macaws are actually a bit more common than African grey here at Melbourne. I have seen a few blue and gold macaw in like 20 pet stores I've been to, and not even one african grey so far!

Crystal pet and wire are just around the corner from me and their prices are very reasonable! So if you do decide to ship, I can tell you that place is safe lol, I met a grey there and I totally fell in love with her, she was so gorgeous and friendly.

Is that where you got Andrey?

I've already had a look at their website, and it seems to be great! If i cant find any, I guess then ill just ship, since NSW is very close to VIC. Thanks Casey!

It's Audrey, not Andrey, lol sorry it's just really frustrating me haha

 

[kc_y0]

Nah, I got Audrey from a breeder, but a friend of mine got her eccy from Crystal pet and wire, they are a good place. Maybe your mum could call them and put her name down on a waiting list, you guys could always drive down if you don't want to ship, the drive can be done in a day , I've done it lol

hey lovemyparrots... remember if you see an exotic for less than $1000 its a scam. African greys go for a minimum of $3000 (and thats cheap). $4000-$5000 is a normal breeder price. $6000 is a pricier breeder price. Some are still even charging $8000. Even amazons which are the cheapest of the exotics are still $1500, the cheapest I have seen was $1200. Its only the smaller exotics which have the slimmer price tags

I would hate to see you fall victim to a scam!

But also.... GRATS!!! I am jealous African greys are awesome.

Sorry about that Casey! One of my friend's galah is named Andrey! I always gets confused in names!

Haha, if I tell mum that, she would probably say to ship! Although she have a car, but she hates driving! Lol

And last time on school camp, i went to ACT! And it was a 12 hour drive! And I was SOOOOO bored on the bus!

I just really hope that there's more African greys here in Aus! So the price would be a bit lower!

And the grey is only a maybe, mum is only having a look at the price, if she finds a healthy CAG that she loves and it's also a bit cheaper, she said she would get it!

I'm jealous of people who have macaws! Too bad they cost so much here in Melbourne, they are probably a bit loud for my house. I don't think my nieghbours can handle the noise!

Hey I'm an ex Melbournian so I know it's only a 9 hr drive to Sydney... I went to a store near Sydney airport "birdsville" - they had an African Grey and a couple of Macaws there on the weekend.

That is true. They are a little more pricier then crystal pet though.

I'll go have a sticky beak then, thanks.
