Thanks for all of the information! I'm really the only bird lover in my family. My mom probably wouldn't even touch one. If it's the bird that needs more than one care giver, it probably isn't the right bird for me. I've been talking on another African Grey forum and they had high praise for cockatiels. I looked up information on cockatiels yesterday and they seem likely to be a good pet for me. Thanks again!

Hi. I'm Blaine. I'm new to African Greys, but not birds. I've been on bird forums and have had them for a few years now. I'm 11, and wondering if an African Grey (specifically the Congo African Grey) is the right bird for me. I go to school but am willing to take it out whenever it needs it. I have most of the needed items on hand, and have done a bit of research on them. I'm looking for a bird the i can have out and lightly stroke and talk to, and that doesn't screech. Before I go any further, would a Congo African Grey be the right bird for someone like me?
