Keeping African Grey Parrots Isn’t Hard If You Know How
If you decide to have an African grey parrot as your pet then you should be ready to take the commitment that you will care for him for more than 50 years. Keeping an African grey parrot is more complicated then you think and you need to be prepared.
Far to many owners think that they can buy any cage and just give the African grey a few pellets and they all set to go. Only to find out a few weeks later that they have to rush their parrot off to the vet as they are plucking out their feathers and looking very poorly.
The African Grey is a highly intelligent parrot that requires constant stimulation and attention. If they do not receive enough of both they will usually develop behavior problems. Boredom also weakens the immune system which makes the bird more susceptible to disease. But sickness and early death can be totally prevented by providing them with the proper nutrition and attention from the very beginning!
Keeping African grey parrots isn’t difficult if you just know how. A properly cared for grey makes an excellent and long-lived companion who is likely to develop a powerful bond with his owner.

Hi We have just brought home an african grey who was living with an elderly lady for 6 years, and I dont think he came out of his cage, how can we encourage him out. He is fairly tame, talks and will take food from our hands.
Many thanks
