Great thanks for all the responses. We are current;y doing up our house ready to move into so were looking at getting an African Grey to move in with us we are both early to mid 20's and have both liked the grey from a very young age. Cost wise it isn't any more than i was expecting so thats ok. You say vet bills, is this a regular thing with the grey? We would be looking at keeping it in our living room, as we will be in there evenings and also have the tele on and was advised it shouldn't be near the kitchen in case of the fumes harming the bird? Also how easy is it to clean bird mess off the furniture? Thanks again for the replies. We think the house will be finished in February so would be looking at getting one then so doing plenty of research.<br><br>Post edited by: stevelaura1, at: 2008/11/07 15:39

Hi We are looking at buing our first african grey and would like to know a few things before we take the commitment on. 1. On average how much do you think it costs to keep the bird, food, toys? 2. We both work full time, would we be able to leave the grey alone during the day or is this not fair on the bird, is there anything you could advise we use to keep it company, cds? 3. What else is essential to know about the grey? Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks
