What are the best tips for buying an african grey?

Answer by  hulmer (1067)

First, do plenty of research on the bird: personality, food, space needed, life span, etc. Knowledge is power! (And the best way to ensure a quality home for your new pet.) Then begin seeking reputable breeders in your area (this may be hours away.) Never be afraid to ask the breeder for references - a quality breeder will have them!

When it comes to purchasing a parrot it isn't so much what to look for in the bird itself but what to look for in your lifestyle. Most greys are similar but are you willing to commit to him? They can live longer than you!
