im only writing this cause i work for animal control and i have seen this happen too many times. alot of people take there birds outside which nothing wrong with that, but some have known to take off, well there are people that call the animal shelter stating they have lost the parrot or any kind of bird, they got around check with people on there street, i know most people when i say this will tell me oh that wont work but it does and if someone has your bird, you will know it by doing this , walk through your street at night calling for your bird, wait until real late when you believe that most people are in bed and call for your bird, your bird will yell back, we have had people find there birds that way. or if they are in the trees, they will come down due to it is quite at night, they are night people or dogs out to scare them. hey it is worth trying, and i know a few people that got there birds back that way.

thats pretty neat that they can just hang in the living room all day, i wish i could do that with my birds, but i have a roaming cat and my grey scares the cat and im afraid someone will get hurt, im sure it will be the cat jacked up though cause for some reason when i have my birds out he hides in the other room under the bed lol. if i didn't have the cat and my husband i sure would do that

thanks everyone for writing back you both have help me out alot

ok my grey is 10 months old and i was wondering if they loose there baby feathers, i have noticed that he is plucking out his chest feathers, he was bald in one spot then started growing new feathers in there, and now there is another little part on his chest that is missing a little hair. i thought maybe it was due to he is bored so i bought more toys and everything and he is healthy nothing wrong i was just wondering if they loose there baby feathers, could someone please help thank you.

they are all doing good thank you. a little loud here and there but all is too happy, and what about your flock how are yours doing

i have three other birds one the quaker i just got well found and he or she is under quarantine right now to make sure he or she is healthy i did take the bird to the vet and it has a clear bill of health. im still quarantinig the bird just to make sure...... but the grey can hear the bird go off and the quaker and the grey starting screaming when they hear each other. the sun conure and the parrotlet dont seem to care lol

thanks for the help

ok i need some help i heard that if you put other birds around a african grey, that the grey wont talk or make sounds or anything just want to know if that is true

i have never heard of anything like that of course im new to the grey world. i do read alot on them, i would take bella to the vet. to see what is going on with her.

welcome having a new baby in the home is wonderful i have had mine for about 1 month now and i have never been so happy before in my life

i have heard that some are late bloomers, greys are very smart birds and sometimes most of them wont talk with you in the room, some do it when no one is around,mine is 4months old and is trying to say things and also i was told that between 8-9 months they start talking and some even say between a year to two years,it just all depends on the bird itself.

well ppl i have been waiting for this day for a while bailey is home with me today from the breeders and im so happy.

ok ppl great news the time is almost here. bailey my baby congo grey will be coming home sunday that is like in 5 days and im soo excited he has two brothers birds to come home to. this will be my first grey. we all here at home are so happy that this time has gone by fast didnt think it was ever going to get here. im just happy and will put up tons of pictures when he arrives home

i'm getting my baby in two weeks well the end of the month and i wanted to get a harness so the bird can go out in the summer time with me, are the easy to put on and easy to train the bird to wear. my husband is building an out door avairy but still want to put a harness on i dont want him to get away even though his wings will be clipped

lol yeah that was yours lol after i read your experience i was thinking that i hope i dont have to go through all that but i am one that will work with it if it does turn that way lol but the breeder said that my baby is wanting to be heald and everything is a big time lover so i will find out tomorrow when i go for my visit.

yeah the baby has been handfed and the breeder plays with them i go for the first visit sunday, and i bring the baby home in two weeks. she said he is really sweet and wants to be held. so i take that as a good sign.

i was just interested in hearing on how your babies actted when you first got them home. were they hard to handle. were they mean? i was just reading a ladies blog and she had one hell of a time with hers but i was thinking it was due to she had to have hers shipped and instead of being a 5 hour trip it turned to a 14 so i was thinking maybe hers was due to stress, im getting my bird from a breeder who lives only a hour away. i was just interested in hearing from others and hows theres went. thank you;)

well everyone it wont be much longer until i have my baby grey home with me, he is the only one out of his cluth that is on his perch the rest sit at the bottem of the cage. 1 more month and he baby bailey will be home.

hello im 30 years old and im a big bird lover, i have a 6 year old parrolet and a 5 year old sun conure and soon to come home on march 24th is my baby congo grey. i have always wanted one and i stated to my fiance after getting the sun conure that i wouldnt get another bird but i went into the bird farm and fell in love with the grey that was there, so i went online hunting down a good breeder and i found one. and she has been sending me pics of my baby, i just cant wait for him to come home so i can get to know him. that is pretty much all about me i do work for animal control, so i do love all kinds of animals.

i paid for a cag about 1,000 it all depends what breeder you go to.

ok my favorite books are african grey parrots by maggie wright it is a complete owners manual and i also read a new owners guide to african grey parrots by nikki moustaki
