First time of writing so hi to you all. I have joined this as I am currently a grey virgin of which I hope to purchase one by the end of August

From my first message could any advise me the complete knowledge of what is required from a paperwork side of things that are required to be legal when having an african grey

Hello Noctor1404 and welcome to our family, we are so glad you could join us and we look forward to hearing more about you and this new grey.

 

Is this your first grey, first parrot? What country are you in? I am not sure what you mean by the paperwork side of things to be legal, maybe you can give us some more information so we can figure out what you are wanting for I am confused.

Hi I am living in Dublin in Rep of Ireland and yes it will be my very first Parrot added to be a member of the family

 

From my initial question about paperwork, the point I am trying to get is when the sale of the bird happens what is the required paperwork to insure I am not purchasing an illegal bird. I have typed the question in the live chat bit of the web page and judygram mentioned bill of sale and hatch certificate

[Tycos_mom]

Yes as long as the bird has a hatch certifiacate and or a closed leg band then that is all that is required to insure your bird was bred in captivity. Some breeders don't use leg bands because they can be dangerous but most do have some kind of hath cetificate to say that the baby was raise in captivity. Unless your buying a rehomed parrot I don't think you have much to worry about.

Hi noctor404, I'm from the USA so I can't help with what is required to prove ownership in your country. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to the grey family.
