How much are Greys in your area?

[Bear]

I've noticed the price of CAG's varies HUGELY from country to country, so was just wondering what the average price is for a CAG whre you live? :confused:

[Azzie]

I live in New Zealand, and my hand reared CAG was NZ$4500.

 

I still haven't told my parents how much this bird cost, as I think they will disown me.

[Mawnee]

Here in Florida they go for around $1000.

 

* I paid $550 for Cosmo at 4 weeks old. But I can attest that it is not easy handfeeding and raising a baby through weening and fledging. It requires a life altering time commitment. The added cost to get one fully weened and fledged is well worth it. I would not recommend buying an unweened bird to save money.

We paid $950.00 US for our Congo.

[Birdnut]

Here in central Texas we paid about $1500 for our CAG at a local retail pet store. I think they're a little high.

[Loki'sMinion]

Florida here also and seen CAG's for about $850 and TAG's for about $650

Those are direct from the breeder prices. Usually add about 50% to those prices for stores

Here in Calif I generally see cags from $750.00 to $1000. Some of the pet stores are around $1500.

8 years ago (uk) I paid £650 for oz (met him at 8 weeks and he came to usat 18 weeks) and an additional £200 for huge cage, parrot proof water bottle, 20kg bag of seed, 4 toys, a textured concrete perch and textured swing, bell, large ladder, vits, cacivet and some food he was already on, He was from a trusted friend and the extra deal was excellent for set up, to be honest £650 is a drop in the ocean for the sheer pleasure you get from these 'pets'!

buying from a breeder here in Massachusetts runs from 800-1000$ petshops anywhere from 1300-2200, is what I have seen

[Talon]

Rikki my cag was bought from someone else in a pet store for $1400 in MA.

Nilah my amazon was $1400 in New Jersey, USA

[Lex]

[dhorje]

I paid Cocoa for MYR1900. The price ranges from MYR2000 to MYR4500 each in Malaysia. Breeding pair usually cost at MYR3000 per pair.

[reggieroo]

£650 for Murphy, he was actually £695 but I asked nicely

[Luvparrots]

I paid $600 for my TAG, from a wonderful lady who wanted to find her babies good homes rather than make money. Thank you Millie!!!

We paid $1400 for Leo (Timgo) and $1700 for Willow from the same pet store. We view it as a rescue on one hand, but on the other we hate giving money to those chain pet stores.

Yes we bought our CAG from a pet shop too but again it was more like a rescue! Our U2 we bought from the breeder direct although she was 3 times the price of our CAG. Our Vosmaeri Eclectus we bought from their previous owner.

 

CAG's here in SA are much cheaper than anywhere else, you are looking at £150-£400, £400 being pet shop prices, although you cang get from breeders for £100...all handreared.

 

Cockatoos are very expensive here though, around £1000 for a U2 in pet shops, a few hundred pounds cheaper privately.

[Georgiesmum]

In Ireland you will paid from €900-€1000

[Capster59]

Canada,,,(Ont) around 1300 cdn from a breeder(hand fed) and about double that at a pet store.

[jessdecutie18]

Yoshi my TAG was $900, almost fully weaned (down to one feeding a day), bought from a local breeder in Florida She is worth every penny!

[luvgrey]

We live in Southern NJ and we bought the CAG, large cage, toys, food, etc. as a package deal and the total was about $1,100 - they gave us a good deal because we bought a poodle, 2 bearded dragon lizards and this bird from them over the past 4 years.
