Thanks very much for the warm welcome. I'll definitely be spending some time lurking on the forums reading through all of the amazing information you have here. Thanks again! Jonno

Oh wow, a 3 month quarantine, that's definitely out of the question. Would'nt be able to survive that long without my bird :unsure: And that would do irreperable damage at such a long age I'm sure. Well that answers my question, I'll just wait and get one there. Thanks to you two for the answers they were very useful.

Ah, I see... I wouldn't want to put any unnecessary stress on the bird, especially if it was still so young. Do you have any idea how much a good grey costs in the States? Thanks very much Jill,

Hey all, Not too sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, so sorry if it is incorrect. I am and have been very interested in purchasing an African Grey for a couple of years but the reason I haven't gone ahead with it is the fact that I will be moving from South Africa to Denver, Colorado in about 8 months time. Now, as far as I know African Greys are a lot cheaper here (around $300 from a breeder) than they are in the States... How would an African Grey acclimatise to the conditions in the States after living in South Africa. Would it cope? Also, do you have any idea how much it would cost to put it on the plane to the States? I would like to get the bird as soon as I can as I have a little more time than I used to to spend with the bird but if it will not be comfortable immigrating than I'd rather wait. Do you guys have any advice with regards to this? Thanks very much Jonno
