Where to Look: African grey parrots for sale
Several online platforms specialize in connecting buyers with breeders and sellers of exotic birds, including African
Greys. Always thoroughly research any potential seller to ensure they are reputable and provide healthy birds. Local bird breeders and pet stores may also offer African Greys, but availability can be limited.
Types of African Greys:
There are two main subspecies:
Congo African Grey: Larger, with a dark grey body and a black beak.
- Timneh African Grey: Smaller, with a dark grey body and a reddish-brown beak.
- Commitment: African Greys have long lifespans (40-60 years or more in captivity), requiring a significant long-term commitment.
- Cost: Beyond the initial purchase price, expect ongoing expenses for food, a large cage, toys, veterinary care, and potential insurance.
- Socialization: Early socialization is crucial for a well-adjusted bird. A parrot lacking early interaction may develop behavioral problems such as feather plucking.
- Legal Compliance: Ensure the seller complies with all relevant laws and regulations regarding the sale and transportation of exotic birds. Regulations vary by state.
