Wow. Greycie is going to be 10 on Halloween (can't believe it) and I think I paid 12-14K for her. I used to worry about her being in our outdoor aviary in Allen but now that I'm out here in the boonies it's more about the critters around and not the more dangerous two-footed menace. Greycie has a 24/7 guard though
The current prices for Greys is astronomical. I paid $1500 for Maalik in 2013. Sydney was a rescue that we acquired for free and Finn was also $1500, which is what his previous owner had paid for him. Finn was only a baby when we acquired him.
I often worry about the potential for them being stolen due to their current street value.
