Hi my name is Charity I work and I recently rescued a African Grey. Zazu was part of a crulety seizer that we did. He was crammed in a small cage for over a year surrounded by other animals who were also caged. There were 12 dogs, 5 ferrets, 1 hedgehog, 3 guinea pigs, 3 hamsters, 2 chinchillas, a cockiteil, a bearded dragon and 2 rabbits. Zazu acted very aggressive when we first seized him but soon he started acting like he wanted attention we had moved him to a bigger more appropriate cage obviously and he would try to get our attention in the office so we started petting his head ect. The court awarded all the animals to the shelter and the owner surrendered zazu to us for an office pet becasue we all fell in love with him. But soon after we were worried that someone might try to steal him or that he needed more work because he would not get on your hand and was still fearful of people. Needless to say I wound up with Zazu who I absolutly love he has come way out of his shell and loves me more and more each day. I now have him getting on my hand and have been working with him on all sorts of fun stuff. My dad has a african grey also so I already knew alot about them and was prepared for what I was getting into. I am so so blessed to have him and I am so glad we were able to save him from his terrible fate in that tiny cage.
