Hi Mike, first I want to salute you for considering adopting an older grey. Would this be your first parrot ever? And what else do you know about this grey. What are the circumstances of its re-homing, i.e., death of original owner, moving, new baby in family. Does it have any issues or bad habits like plucking, biting, or is your potential grey well-behaved. These are all questions to take into consideration before any of our more experienced members can help you with answers to help you in this decision. Good luck on your decision.
