Hand-rearing
The first sixteen weeks
Greys that are rushed through weaning often become anxious, fussy eaters. We let each bird set the pace.
- Week 0–3
Parent-raised
Chicks stay with their parents for the first weeks. We candle, log and weigh daily.
- Week 3–10
Hand-feeding
Hand-fed on a weighed schedule in our nursery, handled daily by the same two keepers.
- Week 10–12
Fledging
First flights in a padded flight room. We never clip before a bird has learned to fly.
- Week 12–16
Weaning
Fresh food, pellets and forage replace formula at the bird's own pace. No forced weaning.
- Week 16+
Ready to go home
DNA-sexed, avian vet checked and ringed. Goes home with its papers by collection or local delivery.

- The leg ring number on the call matches the paperwork.
- The seller’s licence or registration checks out with the issuing authority.
- The bird is in your own country and delivered locally by a named, checkable company, or collected. No surprise fees mid-delivery.
- No surprise fees for crates, insurance or permits; no gift cards or crypto.
Questions
Before you enquire
Is it legal to buy an African grey parrot in the US or Canada?
Yes, when the bird was bred in captivity and is sold within the country where it lives. Congo African greys (Psittacus erithacus) have been on CITES Appendix I since 2017. In the United States, captive-bred greys can be bought and sold between US residents, but the Wild Bird Conservation Act bars importing them as pets, so a US buyer should buy from a US aviary. In Canada, captive-bred greys can be sold within the country subject to provincial rules, while import and export need CITES permits. That is why each of our birds is sold only to buyers in its own country.
Can I see the bird on FaceTime or a video call before paying?
Yes, and we insist on it. Before any deposit or payment, we hold a live video call on FaceTime, WhatsApp or Zoom. You will see the bird, its closed leg ring and its paperwork, and we can hold up a note with your name and the date so you know the call is live and the bird is real. We ask about your home on the same call.
How does reserving a bird work?
Send an enquiry. We reply within two working days to book your video call. If we both want to go ahead, we send a written reservation agreement. The deposit (10 to 20 percent, shown on each listing) is paid only after the video call and the signed agreement. The balance and any delivery fee are due in full on the handover date you agree with us, before the bird leaves the aviary. At handover you receive the DNA certificate, health record and the legal papers for your country.
Do you deliver birds?
Yes, locally, inside the same country. Our own staff drive your bird to you, or we arrange a local pet delivery company to help within the delivery area shown for each aviary. You can also collect in person. We name any delivery company in writing before booking so you can check it yourself, and we never use airlines or long-distance cargo. Any delivery fee is agreed in writing up front and paid in full, along with the balance, before the bird leaves the aviary on the agreed handover date, never as surprise extra charges. A seller or "shipping agent" who asks for extra crate, insurance, vet or permit fees while the bird is in transit is running a common scam.
