I moved to West Virginia about 7 years ago, my father has raised CAG, TAG, and Macaws almost as long as I can remember. His backyard is full of them. Within the past year I got into birds, I guess it is in my blood... HA HA. But I got a Double yellow head and a Blue front given to me from a friend here in WV and called my father because I only wanted to keep the cage. My father traded me for the pair of Amazons for the Congos, because he knows alot of breeders and could get rid of the Amazons really easy. I am originally from Indiana by the way, but anyways, This is my first pair of CAG, I have handfed babies before. And I am really hoping to be hand raising more. He has had the Congos for years and said they were really good breeders. I have had them for probably 4 or 5 months now. The first set of 4 eggs were not fertile, But my father said it was probably because the perch I had in the cage was a 1 inch dowel rod. He said I needed a bigger perch like a tree branch or a 2 X 4. So she could hold onto. Anyways just alittle about me. Thanks

My Father has raised Congo African Greys for years, almost as long as I can remember, He raises CAG, TAG, and Macaws. His back yard is full of them. I got a Double yellow head Amazon, and a Blue Front Amazon given to me and really didnt want them, He traded me this pair of Greys for the Amazons because he knows alot of breeders and sold the Amazons. That and I wanted to try to raise Greys. So anyway to make a long story short, I made the trip and traded for the greys. I am orginally from Indiana. Moved to West Virginia about 7 years ago to get out on my own.

Hello all! This is my first day as a member and thought I would say HELLO

Have you ever raised Congo African Greys? My father has raised them for years, He is really the only breeder that I know. He recently gave me a pair that is supposed to be really good breeders. The first clutch of 4 eggs were not fertile. Within two months later they laid 3 eggs that they are sitting on now. I have not touched them to see if they are fertile yet, They should be due to hatch September 3. Is this normal?
