hey, how do i wash veggies for my grey? im sure that the local grocery store gets there veggies from somewhere that uses chemicals and such and there are no organic stores around here. thanks

i should mention the wood/coal stove is a room away and no one EVER smokes inside my room

Hey, im new here and new to parrots. ive been researching them for 2 years just to afraid to cough up the dough for one and then it die on me...hopefully im just a paranoid person... anyways ive always been very interested in congo african grey parrots and i REALLY want to get one it will be my first parrot. i have other pets(reptiles, goats, pheasants, and chickens) BUT not parrots(getting a CAG to big of a first step?) my main fear/problem is my house is heated with a coal/wood stove and when opened it does release some smoke into the air and that my father smokes inside the house. i have a sheet over my door so heat comes in but the smoke does not but im sure that isnt enough so i have plans of getting an air filter(any tips?) and also the wood/coal stove does make the air dry so i will need a humidifier too. id love to hear peoples opinions and experiences with coal/wood stove and getting a congo african grey as a first parrot(i have plenty of time to give to a CAG and very committed to my pets) thanks for any help :cheer:
