As Dave007 said it is an outdoor mall/flea market. They sell clothes, food, and a lot of animals. Especially during the spring, there are so many types of birds being sold there. I have only seen a couple african greys in the past. They are sold as babies and adults. I haven't been there in a long time but I will let you guys know what I see there.

Our Amazon ended tragically. His name was Tito. We found him as a chick, he had a deformed leg and could not grab on to trees hence is how he fell into our lives. But we gave him baby formula and weaned him.We had him for 4 years. He grew very attached to my grandfather so his cage was in our garage. One day he was on his perch and he saw my grandpa in his truck. So he got down from the cage and walked over to him. My grandpa was backing up the truck and did not see him. That was the end of our beloved bird. We will definitely exert more caution from now on if we do end up buying a grey. Its been about six years now since his passing, but we are ready for another feathered companion into our lives.

I need someone's perspective on my situation. I really want to get an african grey. We owned an amazon parrot for a couple years so we know what we are getting ourselves into. I am a 19 year old who has a part time job. We are busy people but someone is always home. There are 8 of us living in the house. We have 3 dogs two outdoor and one indoor. And my grandmother has 7 canaries. Could we handle an african grey? I know they require a lot of attention and love. My family is willing to provide for it while I am away at work or out wherever. So it will be more of a family bird. I have been researching them for the past few weeks. I am ready for my "baby". I plan on buying one from Chino swap meet. Any advice or warnings on going with that? Would gladly appreciate feedback from people currently with greys. Thanks!
