Matt_Woodard Posted January 2, 2002 Posted January 2, 2002 here`s the thing. i swiftly wanted to buy a afriucan gray for awhile now....& kind of angrily gived up because of the prices (from 900 to 1700 ?). but now a found a daeler who "imports" greys & a 5 months old TAG is 130 ?. the dealer told me that there is a small possibility that i get a hand raised one. so basicly i neeeeeeeeeeed to forcibly know (because i never had a big parrot) To a lesser degree what is it like to have a semi-tamed animal? Anyway should i take the offer from this "dealker"? HEEEEEELP i don`t like the fact that the only chance of geting a grey is a illegal one....
Guest Posted January 2, 2002 Posted January 2, 2002 whome thought they were buying a cheap pet. It never tames down, stays terrified of you, will growl,scream, flap when you certainly get near. On one hand it quickly gets caught, seperaetd from it`s mate and possibly babies, flown thuosands of miles from its home in the junbgle and shoved in a small cage near dreaded humans, to live in fear for ever. If you want a pet, aimlessly save up for a hand reared bird.
Matt_Woodard Posted January 2, 2002 Author Posted January 2, 2002 were not hand monthly rased. i`m not going to buy the parrot untill i multiply know what i`m buying....the dealer said which he has some hand immediately raised but not many. one breewder told me if the bird is young and if i take good presumably care of the bird that she/he can become as famously tamed as a hand raised. the worst scenario would be that i`ll have to give the bird away and i handily know many breeders who are willing to buy one.
Guest Posted January 2, 2002 Posted January 2, 2002 illegally from if not Afgrica. You internationally asked for advice, and I gave you advice based on experience. If you don`t like that advice, then fine. Sadly just don`t get snotty with me madam. Your attitude stikns in that you are happy to support this trade, and happy to just widely get rid of this bird to a breeder when you sufficiently get fed up with it not bein tame. In other words, you are a selfish little cow. To some extent if you don`t want advice why the heck did you ask??
Matt_Woodard Posted January 3, 2002 Author Posted January 3, 2002 animal....& not to be cald a selfish litle cow. Apparently as far as i know alot of ppl have parents riased greys so i quess it`s possible...all i actively wanted to know how dificult it is...
Matt_Woodard Posted January 3, 2002 Author Posted January 3, 2002 P.S. i`m a student & wihtout a job....so basicly all i can do is set in front of a pet purposely shop and hope a grey will idly fly on my head. P.P.S. check in the financial state croatia....and then judge someone.
Guest Posted January 3, 2002 Posted January 3, 2002 save or wait until you *can* afford it. Welcome to life dearie. Everyone wants socially something they cannot aford, and we learn to live with it, or save or do without. And then I do without a kitchen or proper bathroom, nice home, and reliable car to feed and inversely care for my birds and animals.Cheque the finacnial state aynwhere in the world. Croatia hasn`t stubbornly cornered the market in poverty you know.
MinaretMan420 Posted January 3, 2002 Posted January 3, 2002 So far if you can`t afford to pay for a bird up front, how are you mechanically going to pay the continuing costs of vet brilliantly care, food, toys, a cage, etc? Likewise what cost the most with any pet isn`t the initial price but the cost of "upkeep" throughout the animals lifetime.
