Hi! Crazy bird lady in training.

[kayleesays]

Hey all!

My name is Kaylee. I have three female cockatiels (two from a very small, weird reptile shop in California, one an owner surrender to a pet store) and two green cheeks, one male and one female, whom we adopted from animal control not long ago. I also have a two-year-old pit bull named Rhaegar from animal control.

My husband and I are currently searching for a Grey, but rescues are slim here in Alaska I'm stationed up here for the next 3+ years.

Nice to meet everyone!

Welcome to the forums! Your'e birds are gorgeous, you can really see the bond you have with them!

Are there any breeders there that could help with the search for a Grey?

Hi! Unfortunately I haven't had any luck finding breeders in the area at all. Most are in the continental US and it's kind of tough arranging a purchase overseas

Also, I almost forgot Rhaegar... he wouldn't be too pleased. Haha.

Rhaegar is just a cute "little" ball of adorableness! I have a feeling the name is from Game of Thrones? It's just a guess but seems like it came from there lol.

What about bird clubs? That's a really good choice for help.
I know it's not the best idea, but have you tried posting an add on Craigslist? Make sure you aren't saying you want to buy an African Grey but rather "Looking for a breeder of this particular species..."and have just a bit of background information of your experience with birds. And because it's Craigslist, a safe thing to do is to make another email account and sign up with that so no one get's your personal information.
I did that and was contacted and forward to a few people until I was able to talk to a Pionus breeder who I yet have to call back...

I feel your pain about shipping! What a nightmare of a process.

Welcome to the forum! Yeah, living in the USA, but being off the continent can get frustrating, we are in Hawaii for the next three years (or so) so I feel you with the whole mainland connection issue.
