Thank you I have done tons research I would care about being entertained I wold just like to have a bond with one of these awesome parrots thank youParrots are not cheap. An ethical breeder will sell them for a higher price to prevent irresponsible people from buying them.
Not only is the bird expensive, but its requirements as well. Birds need to have a lot of natural shreddable toys, and need to be able to forage to keep them mentally stimulated. Avian vets aren't cheap either; in some areas there aren't even avian vets!
There aren't a lot of active uses on this site who breed African Greys as far as I know.
Why do you want a bird? To be entertained, or to love it? If the answer is the first one, definitely don't get a bird. Remember, not all birds are like the ones on the internet.
I suggest doing a lot of research beforehand, you've come to the right place. If you need any advice regarding diet, enrichment, housing, etc, ask them here
Cheers!
Ok I will try to find one around meTry visiting rescues, you can see interact with the birds and see if they're a goof fit for you
Hello! As someone who diligently searched for a CAG over the past few weeks, spoke with many "sellers" whose websites disappeared shortly after contact, and getting advice from my avian veterinarian friends....you will NOT find an African Grey for less than $3000 unless up for adoption, in which case most rescues set fees at $1,000 or higher because these birds need a lot of specialized care.
I would hate to know someone in this state is taken advantage of.Are you still looking to buy a bird?
