Greys are the best! Do you know there are two types? Congo and Timneh? The Congos are a little bigger.
I had a Congo that died from egg-binding, and itās all my wifeās fault. One day, I will tell the story here.
Look for a YOUNG bird, or one that readily steps onto your hand. DONāT buy a bird that seems very scared of you. It is not your responsibility to āsaveā a problem bird, and donāt be tempted by a low cost. You donāt need or want the aggravation! Look for a friendly bird who LIKES you, even if it ISNāT a Gray!
Parrots arenāt like cats and dogs. Theyāre not going to suddenly change their opinion of you after a day.
