I want to get an African Grey

[PicassosMom]

I know there are so many Greys out in the world that are in need of a good home. I live in Northern Virginia, does anyone know of a good place to start with adopting an African Grey?

Thanks

Hello Kristine and welcome to the family, so glad you could join us and we look forward to getting to know you better.

 

There are too many greys out there in need of a good home and if that is the route you want to take then we will help you with your quest. Have you checked for bird rescues in your area? Check with local vets and area bird clubs to see what they know. Google the internet to find out what is offered.

 

As I also live in Virginia there is a rescue that I know of but it is based in NC but it might be a good place to start, Phoenix Landing, their website is

www.phoenixlanding.org

 

Take a few minutes and read thru the many threads for lots of useful information and do not hesitate to ask questions you may have. We will do our best to get you some answers and help you in any way we can.

Thank you so much for all of your help. I've searched the internet and all the local rescues that I could find and I am having trouble finding one in the area. I am going to go look at a baby this weekend. I'm a little scared because I know I won't be able to resist and I'll bring it home. My boyfriend is afraid that a new bird will disrupt the happy Monk Parakeet that we already own. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Lastly, here is a link that lists rescues in all the States, perhaps you may find one in a neighboring state to you if you don't find a local:
