African Grey Parrot Cost
African Greys do not make ideal pets for everyone. If you are out of the house frequently, travel, devote your time to children, or simply do not have 3-5 hours to devote to your Grey each day this is not the pet for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for a feathered friend that will be devoted to you and demand your love and attention an African Grey may be the right pet for you. Still, it is important to remember that these birds can live up to 80 years of age, meaning that they often outlive their owners and need to be rehomed.
If you are interested in purchasing an African Grey Parrot your first stop should be your local parrot rescue agency. The volunteers and professionals at a parrot rescue center will be able to tell you about the personality, health, and general background of the birds they are re-homing. Rescue agencies often offer classes for new bird owners and tips and advice on caring for avian companions.
Whenever you see an African Grey Parrot for sale be sure to check out the breeder or seller to ensure that the bird has been treated ethically and is in good health.
Prices can vary widely depending on where you are purchasing your pet from. Ask your local exotic vet for a ballpark range of how much you should set aside to purchase food, equipment and goodies you’ll need for your new feathered friend.
