It would be so nice if you could provide the food that you feed these African grays. People in the USA own a lot of African grays. We don’t actually know what to feed them so most just feed them sunflower seeds, peanuts, and some fruits. I see that you feed yours a lot of greens. Is there anyway you can post a video of what types of greens you feed these African grays? That would be a gods blessing.
No one is getting this story so African greys are from 2014 that's amazing and saver standards from breed programs good stuff 😊 I have a African grey he's my best friend Charlie I thought in the wild no birds left now I feel better knowing this god bless them all birds to smart for there own good
Their v.chairperson has been charged with animal cruelty. Search and seizure found 150 dead birds on his residence... care about Money or birds? Disgusting
African grey breeding has reached to Pakistan now many fanciers are breeding it. A one month old chick costs almost approximately 300 dollars here and I am planning to buy one ❤
Iam a lover of exotic and greys in particular and Iam. always appalled about what I read and see regarding African Greys and Timneh Greys and I hope that no one ever is exploiting Greys anymore. I capitivy and I hope these beautiful birds aren’t not being poached anymore and they are strictly enforcing laws regarding Greys and Timneh Greys.
Essas aves são tão inteligentes!! É uma pena que seu habitat natural esteja sendo destruido!! Sendo assim a criação desses papagaios em cativeiros sejam a única maneira de preservar a sua espécie!! Algo muito parecido acontece no Brasil!!
My African Grey parrot was not feeling well (flu and cough). I took her to the vet and he gave antibiotic for two weeks, she become bit fine (eating sort of ok) and dropping is not too much watery but coughing. Any thing you can suggest please? Age of parrot is nearly three years.
*IMPORTANT WARNING FOR PET BIRD OWNERS* : The food that we normally give to the canaries (and other companion birds) consisting of a "complete, balanced and top-quality seeds mixture" bought in pet stores or malls, makes the owners trust that their pet is well fed, but it's not so: indeed the birds health is at imminent and serious risk. The owners of canaries, parrots, cockatoos, budgies, cockatiels, etc., WE MUST PAY ATTENTION TO DOMESTIC BIRD BREEDERS AND VETS and keep in mind that although we feed them with such a typical seeds mixture, our birds are very likely in danger of suffering an unexpected, painful and practically inevitable PREMATURE DEATH BY FATTY LIVER DISEASE. Canaries, for example, will surely die at 4 - 6 years of age of the more than 14 that they can live. It's sad that pet birds are fated to die early and painfully in so many cases. You have to warn people to avoid it! This deadly disease is very common in pet birds but owners usually don’t know or detect it in time. And we can’t imagine that *THE CAUSE IS IN THE FOOD ITSELF* that we provide to our birds, in which such *a typical mixture contains low-fat seeds such as canary seed together with other VERY fatty seeds such as niger, hemp or nabine and, in addition, the birds usually prefer to eat the fatty seeds* so that their REAL DIET is unbalanced by excessive fat, gradually causes the fatty infiltration of the liver and in a few years causes fatty liver hepatitis and PREMATURE DEATH to pet birds. *Also the breeding paste and its pigments and the sunflower seeds can attack the liver* if they are taken too much or for too long. It's a cruel disease that progresses silently and, when its unexpected symptoms begin, they are easily confused with other ailments so the owners usually postpone the visit to the vet at a time already critical for the life of the bird (besides that not all vets are trained to recognize this elusive and misleading disease, even to administer lipotropic and regenerative liver protectors in curative doses, just in case it's that and not a supposed blow). It's a process of slow and asymptomatic progression, but when their visible symptoms begin (acute phase) the disease accelerates. *SYMPTOMS OF THE ACUTE PHASE OF FATTY LIVER DISEASE* : First, emotional decay or progressive lack of interest, hard belly (in many cases, with a dark spot with a half-moon shape on the belly, which seems a "tumor", to see it you have to wet your fingers to remove the down), falls from the sticks of the cage that seem for "errors of calculation" and then lameness (that make believe that they are by the previous falls, but both symptoms are due to that it hurts the liver), lack of flight and singing, the bird fluffs up his feathers or bends more or less slowly; Then, within a few weeks or a few days, heavy breathing with open beak, remaining lying on the floor of the cage near the food, sudden spasms from time to time (which make people believe that the bird is "epileptic" but it are twinges of pain of diseased liver), abundant greenish stools (caused by biliverdin which if it's not fasting, it means hepatic harm), then black and watery (from hepatic hemorrhages), then a strange purplish color of skin and beak, an excessive appetite and the final "improvement" of a few days (in the last phase, the already degenerated liver becomes deflated by what the bird seems to ameliorate), after which it suddenly dies among seizures (which may seem a heart infarct). For the first symptoms the liver has already degenerated to 80% and only an urgent (and accurate) vet action can save your bird and revert the liver situation. If you simply feed your bird with the loose seeds mixture (even if you give it fresh fruits, vegetables and let it exercise, for example by letting it out of the cage at home), right now your pet's liver is degenerating, and neither you nor your bird know. *Without liver protectors, it's almost certain that your bird will die early and in many cases you won’t be able to determine its real cause* . Hepatic lipidosis it's not only deadly by itself when the visible symptoms begin (sometimes even it does not warn at all until few moments before the death). Even before the acute phase it predisposes the bird to suffer infections, as it weakens the immune system. Obese pet birds have an higher risk of many other diseases, like arthritis, heart disease and cancer. Obesity in birds it's not so apparent but it's more dangerous than in other animals like mammals. So in addition to giving to the birds lipotropic and detox / regenerating hepatic protectors preventively and routinely, breeders usually make their own mixtures with low fat seeds. *PREVENTION AND/OR TREATMENT* : The time to act is NOW that your pet doesn’t have yet the visible symptoms. It's necessary to ACTIVELY PREVENT THE LIVER DEGENERATION. Fortunately it's easy to do it: *It's very advisable to substitute progressively (within some weeks, as per the instructions of the manufacturer) the mixture of loose seeds for some pellets compound food of seeds, fruits and vegetables (preferably those that already include liver protectors), because this prevents the bird from filtering and eating mostly the fatty seeds (but without insisting if the bird does not get accustomed to eating pellets because he could die for starvation within a few days)* . *And, whatever the diet, it's CRUCIAL to add to the drinking water or to the food a LIPOTROPIC LIVER PROTECTOR that includes carnitine and / or choline, betaine, methionine, etc., (and it's very convenient to add a DETOX / REGENERATING LIVER PROTECTOR with thistle milk, boldo, artichoke extract)* . Liver protectors are not medicine but cheap food supplements manufactured by pet bird vet laboratories that remove the fat from the liver, clean it and favor its recovery. It's essential to add them to the pet birds diet to conserve their liver. It's something that professionals as breeders and vets know, but we the owners usually don't know. It are appearing in the market compound feed for pet birds that don’t include fatty seeds and that already include several liver protectors. *But the vast majority of owners still confidently feed their birds with the typical mixture of loose seeds with little fat and other very fatty seeds... And their birds continue dying for hepatic lipidosis in a large number of cases (likely, in most cases)* . Now we know that, as fatty liver disease develops from the daily food itself, it’s most likely THE FIRST CAUSE OF DEATH OF PET BIRDS, and more so as the bird ages. Webs on FLD: www.beautyofbirds.com/liverdisease.html Liver disease is a slow, on-going progressive disease where the liver tissue is replaced with fat. When the liver disease has progressed, the bird may suddenly appear ill. www.lovinghands.com/forms/Hepatic%20Lipidosis%20-%20Fatty%20Liver%20Disease.pdf One of the sadder diseases many avian vets see is that of hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease. It's sad in a number of ways since often the birds are very ill, life-threateningly so, or possibly having died suddenly. Often the owners have been unaware of the dangers of feeding their beloved pet the seeds, peanuts, or other fatty foods the bird obviously loves to eat. These are truly cases of "loving your bird to death". Any bird can fall victim to fatty liver disease. www.researchgate.net/publication/46105643_Treating_liver_disease_in_the_avian_patient Dietary deficiencies of lipotrophic factors such as choline, biotin, and methionine may decrease the transport of lipids from the liver. www.veterinaria.org/revistas/redvet/n111110B/111004B.pdf The clinical manifestations of hepatic diseases in ornamental birds are much more frequent than people could imagine and in many cases they are not appreciated, progress in a silent way and when they are evident, vet action may (usually) arrive late. Most any avian symptomatology should be considered as if it was a pathology that could be serious, and not allow the disease to develop because then it will probably be too late. We must closely investigate the symptoms, take preventive measures that don’t harm (such as giving liver and intestinal protectors according to the leaflet) ask for advice from vets, breeders, etc. and procure the most appropriate treatment RAPIDLY, but without rushing in the treatment or with the doses in such small animals. If the days go by and the bird doesn’t improve, it's necessary to continue investigating and, if necessary, change the medication in an informed and contrasted manner. Doing nothing or stopping research usually ends up with the bird dead, but acting without being sure of what is done and in what dose, it likely ends the same way. It's necessary to obtain and confirm the sufficient vet experience and have the serenity to determine in each case whether it's convenient to hasten to do and / or administer what medicine and in what dose, or if it’s better not to do and let the situation evolve without medicating for the time being, or according to the medication that has already been administered. A limp in a bird is not always an injury caused by a blow, but the symptom of a disease of some organ (usually the liver or an intestinal disease) that needs to be discovered and treated ASAP. When in doubt, change diet to one with the lowest fat possible (only birdseed, or with other low-fat seeds such as millet, chia, fresh fruits and vegetables) and administer lipotropic and regenerating liver protectors in curative doses immediately... although nothing could foresee a fatal outcome. There are also food supplements protectors of the intestinal mucosa and stimulants of the immune system. In doses according to the leaflets do not cause damage, it will surely save the life of your bird (if it's not too late), and will keep them with a basic wellness.
Very good info, thank you so much for posting. We have a list of all himan foods mainly veggies and fruit and our African Grey is offered most every meal we eat. Thank you again for such great info.
Vic64Y THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT INFO AND THE LINKS YOU HAVE POSTED. IM IN THE US AND ITS DIFFICULT TO FIND AN AVIAN VET. AND IF WE DO THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE THAT ITS DIFFICULT TO PAY FOR VETERINARY SERVICES. THANKS AGAIN
I'm really thinking about getting a pair of Congo's in about 90 days from now, build a nice Avery for them and just let nature take it's place... I'm from southern California high desert

is there enyone who can tell me what is the best diet and naturel for A GREYS? I have got a pair in many years.. but still not sure what the best diet is for them. thanks.best regards from Mustafa IRMAK
I really wish somebody would’ve answered your question because I have the same question? I don’t even know what type of pellets to feed this African gray that I inherited. All I know is he’s 22 years old, my mother got them when he was a baby and he likes to try to bite me. I currently feed him sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts, and some apples. I really wish somebody would make a video on exactly what mixture to feed these African grays. It would be extremely helpful to ask bird owners.
Sir I have african grey pair from last 3 years, male DNA 2014 and female 2017.they are on strong diet e.g mix seeds,fruits, egg food mixed with nekton S etc in a very peaceful environment.female remain nearly 18 hours in box nd male for nearly 10 hours.but still there is no result of breeding.please guide me.Thanks in anticipation
When you think you are buying a handreared African Grey parrot from a breeder... know this--- □In the wild they fledge at 11-12 weeks □In forced breeding they are taken from their parents as young as 3-4 weeks □Why was PVSA against escalating to CITES 1? It had nothing to do with their concern for employees losing jobs, nor with a professed and fake concern that CITES 1 would fuel illegal trade. It meant for them LESS QUICK MONEY □Note in the video how your handreared babies are actually handreared..... what do you see? □South Africa is the LARGEST IMPORTER OF wild caught African Grey Parrots..... (legal???? Or trafficked) □South Africa is the LARGEST exporter of African Grey PARROTS in the world. □Post-capture and pre-export mortality rates for Grey Parrots have been estimated between 30-60% and as high as 70% - 90% in some instances, suggesting that the actual number ofbirds removed from the wild have been significantly higher than those reported through trade (McGowan 2001, CITES Review of Significant Trade ♡♡♡♡I know all humans owned by parrots care enough to prevent this tragedy from occurring!

Hello! My name is Ahmed I m from Pakistan. I have 02 African grey parrots by I don't know what is actual food or seeds of them. Pleas suggest me what I give them in seasonally bases. Thanks.

Excellent educational video highlighting captive-breeding techniques now used by many conservation groups. Visit the Parrot Breeders Association of Southern Africa website: www.aviculturesa.co.za/ PASA is one of the foremost avicultural associations in the world, with decades of collective knowledge gained in the aviary-breeding of many endangered species.
No they're not. South African breeders are some of the worst, keeping them confined in dark boxes, breeding them to death. They don't hold back their own babies, because it's much cheaper to import birds from the wild, as the birds are ready to breed. Keeping them on Appendix II, smuggling will still go on because they'll be able to "launder" them into the captive population (this is how birds are taken when countries reach their quotas). If they are uplisted to Appendix I, all greys will have to be permitted, which will make it very difficult to move around smuggled birds.
They have been upgraded to Appendix 1 since the first of january 2017 (Europe anyway- not sure about the rest of the world)- now let's keep our fingers crossed. Even the birds already years in possession should be registered. Let us put a stop to abusing these birds!!
It would be so nice if you could provide the food that you feed these African grays. People in the USA own a lot of African grays. We don’t actually know what to feed them so most just feed them sunflower seeds, peanuts, and some fruits. I see that you feed yours a lot of greens. Is there anyway you can post a video of what types of greens you feed these African grays? That would be a gods blessing.
I have experience of these birds... i can take care of your birds there

It's sad that pet birds are fated to die early and painfully in so many cases. You have to warn people to avoid it!
This deadly disease is very common in pet birds but owners usually don’t know or detect it in time. And we can’t imagine that *THE CAUSE IS IN THE FOOD ITSELF* that we provide to our birds, in which such *a typical mixture contains low-fat seeds such as canary seed together with other VERY fatty seeds such as niger, hemp or nabine and, in addition, the birds usually prefer to eat the fatty seeds* so that their REAL DIET is unbalanced by excessive fat, gradually causes the fatty infiltration of the liver and in a few years causes fatty liver hepatitis and PREMATURE DEATH to pet birds.
*Also the breeding paste and its pigments and the sunflower seeds can attack the liver* if they are taken too much or for too long.
It's a cruel disease that progresses silently and, when its unexpected symptoms begin, they are easily confused with other ailments so the owners usually postpone the visit to the vet at a time already critical for the life of the bird (besides that not all vets are trained to recognize this elusive and misleading disease, even to administer lipotropic and regenerative liver protectors in curative doses, just in case it's that and not a supposed blow).

*And, whatever the diet, it's CRUCIAL to add to the drinking water or to the food a LIPOTROPIC LIVER PROTECTOR that includes carnitine and / or choline, betaine, methionine, etc., (and it's very convenient to add a DETOX / REGENERATING LIVER PROTECTOR with thistle milk, boldo, artichoke extract)* . Liver protectors are not medicine but cheap food supplements manufactured by pet bird vet laboratories that remove the fat from the liver, clean it and favor its recovery. It's essential to add them to the pet birds diet to conserve their liver. It's something that professionals as breeders and vets know, but we the owners usually don't know.
It are appearing in the market compound feed for pet birds that don’t include fatty seeds and that already include several liver protectors. *But the vast majority of owners still confidently feed their birds with the typical mixture of loose seeds with little fat and other very fatty seeds... And their birds continue dying for hepatic lipidosis in a large number of cases (likely, in most cases)* . Now we know that, as fatty liver disease develops from the daily food itself, it’s most likely THE FIRST CAUSE OF DEATH OF PET BIRDS, and more so as the bird ages.

Liver disease is a slow, on-going progressive disease where the liver tissue is replaced with fat. When the liver disease has progressed, the bird may suddenly appear ill.

One of the sadder diseases many avian vets see is that of hepatic lipidosis or fatty liver disease. It's sad in a number of ways since often the birds are very ill, life-threateningly so, or possibly having died suddenly. Often the owners have been unaware of the dangers of feeding their beloved pet the seeds, peanuts, or other fatty foods the bird obviously loves to eat. These are truly cases of "loving your bird to death". Any bird can fall victim to fatty liver disease.

Dietary deficiencies of lipotrophic factors such as choline, biotin, and methionine may decrease the transport of lipids from the liver.

The clinical manifestations of hepatic diseases in ornamental birds are much more frequent than people could imagine and in many cases they are not appreciated, progress in a silent way and when they are evident, vet action may (usually) arrive late.
Most any avian symptomatology should be considered as if it was a pathology that could be serious, and not allow the disease to develop because then it will probably be too late. We must closely investigate the symptoms, take preventive measures that don’t harm (such as giving liver and intestinal protectors according to the leaflet) ask for advice from vets, breeders, etc. and procure the most appropriate treatment RAPIDLY, but without rushing in the treatment or with the doses in such small animals. If the days go by and the bird doesn’t improve, it's necessary to continue investigating and, if necessary, change the medication in an informed and contrasted manner. Doing nothing or stopping research usually ends up with the bird dead, but acting without being sure of what is done and in what dose, it likely ends the same way. It's necessary to obtain and confirm the sufficient vet experience and have the serenity to determine in each case whether it's convenient to hasten to do and / or administer what medicine and in what dose, or if it’s better not to do and let the situation evolve without medicating for the time being, or according to the medication that has already been administered.
A limp in a bird is not always an injury caused by a blow, but the symptom of a disease of some organ (usually the liver or an intestinal disease) that needs to be discovered and treated ASAP. When in doubt, change diet to one with the lowest fat possible (only birdseed, or with other low-fat seeds such as millet, chia, fresh fruits and vegetables) and administer lipotropic and regenerating liver protectors in curative doses immediately... although nothing could foresee a fatal outcome. There are also food supplements protectors of the intestinal mucosa and stimulants of the immune system. In doses according to the leaflets do not cause damage, it will surely save the life of your bird (if it's not too late), and will keep them with a basic wellness.
Very good info, thank you so much for posting. We have a list of all himan foods mainly veggies and fruit and our African Grey is offered most every meal we eat. Thank you again for such great info.
Vic64Y THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT INFO AND THE LINKS YOU HAVE POSTED. IM IN THE US AND ITS DIFFICULT TO FIND AN AVIAN VET. AND IF WE DO THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE THAT ITS DIFFICULT TO PAY FOR VETERINARY SERVICES. THANKS AGAIN
I'm really thinking about getting a pair of Congo's in about 90 days from now, build a nice Avery for them and just let nature take it's place... I'm from southern California high desert

Hello Brasil show de bola.
Quero um desse ?
*IMPORTANT WARNING FOR PET BIRD OWNERS:* The food that we normally give to the canaries (and other companion birds) consisting of a "complete, balanced and top-quality seeds mixture" bought in pet stores or malls, makes the owners trust that their pet is well fed, but it's not so: indeed the birds health is at serious risk.
The owners of canaries, parrots, cockatoos, budgies, cockatiels, etc., WE MUST PAY ATTENTION TO DOMESTIC BIRD BREEDERS AND VETS and keep in mind that although we feed them with such a typical seeds mixture, our birds are very likely in danger of suffering an unexpected, painful and practically inevitable PREMATURE DEATH BY FATTY LIVER DISEASE. Canaries, for example, will surely die at 4 - 7 years of age of the more than 15 that they can live.
It's sad that pet birds are fated to die early and painfully in so many cases. You have to warn people to avoid it!
This deadly disease is very common in pet birds but owners usually don’t know or detect it in time. And we can’t imagine that *THE CAUSE IS IN THE FOOD ITSELF* that we provide to our birds, in which such *a typical mixture contains low-fat seeds such as canary seed together with other VERY fatty seeds such as niger, hemp or nabine and, in addition, the birds usually prefer to eat the fatty seeds* so that their REAL DIET is unbalanced by excessive fat, gradually causes the fatty infiltration of the liver and in a few years causes fatty liver hepatitis and PREMATURE DEATH to pet birds.
*Also the fruits and specially the breeding paste and its pigments and THE SUNFLOWER SEEDS ATTACK THE LIVER* if they are taken too much or for too long.
It's a cruel disease that progresses silently and, when its unexpected symptoms begin, they are easily confused with other ailments so the owners usually postpone the visit to the vet at a time already critical for the life of the bird (besides that not all vets are trained to recognize this elusive and misleading disease, even to administer lipotropic and regenerative liver protectors in curative doses, just in case it's that and not a supposed blow). It's a process of slow and asymptomatic progression, but when their visible symptoms begin (acute phase) the disease accelerates.
*SYMPTOMS OF THE ACUTE PHASE OF FATTY LIVER DISEASE:* First, overgrowth of beak and nails since months before, progressive sadness and/or pecking, hard belly (in many cases, with a dark spot with a half-moon shape on the belly, which seems a "tumor", to see it you have to wet your fingers to remove the down), falls from the sticks of the cage that seem for "errors of calculation" and then lameness (that make believe that they are by the previous falls, but both symptoms are due to that it hurts the liver), lack of flight and singing, the bird fluffs up his feathers or bends more or less slowly; Then, within a few weeks or a few days, heavy breathing with open beak, remaining lying on the floor of the cage near the food, sudden spasms from time to time (which make people believe that the bird is "epileptic" but it are twinges of pain of diseased liver), abundant greenish poop (caused by biliverdin which if it's not fasting, it means hepatic harm), then black and watery (from hepatic hemorrhages), then a strange purplish color of skin and beak, an excessive appetite and the final "improvement" of a few days (in the last phase, the already degenerated liver becomes deflated by what the bird seems to ameliorate), after which it suddenly dies among seizures (which may seem a "heart infarct" or a "stroke").
For the first symptoms the liver has already degenerated to 80% and only an urgent (and accurate) vet action can save your bird and revert the liver situation. If you simply feed your bird with the loose seeds mixture (even if you give it fresh fruits, vegetables and let it exercise, for example by letting it out of the cage at home), right now your pet's liver is degenerating, and neither you nor your bird know. *Without liver protectors, it's almost certain that your bird will die early and in many cases you won’t be able to determine its real cause.*
Hepatic lipidosis it's not only deadly by itself when the visible symptoms begin (sometimes even it does not warn at all until few moments before the death). Even before the acute phase it predisposes the bird to suffer infections, as it weakens the immune system. Obese pet birds have an higher risk of many other diseases, like arthritis, heart disease and cancer. Obesity in birds it's not so apparent but it's more dangerous than in other animals like mammals.
So in addition to giving to the birds lipotropic and detox / regenerating hepatic protectors preventively and routinely, breeders usually make their own mixtures with low fat seeds.
*PREVENTION AND/OR TREATMENT:* The time to act is NOW that your bird doesn’t show yet the visible symptoms. It's necessary to ACTIVELY PREVENT THE LIVER DEGENERATION. Fortunately it's easy to do it: *It's very advisable to substitute progressively (within some weeks, as per the instructions of the manufacturer) the mixture of loose seeds for some pellets compound food of seeds, fruits and vegetables (preferably those that already include liver protectors), because this prevents the bird from filtering and eating mostly the fatty seeds (but without insisting if the bird does not get accustomed to eating pellets because he could die for starvation within a few days).*
*And, whatever the diet, it's CRUCIAL to add to the drinking water or to the food LIPOTROPIC LIVER PROTECTORS that include carnitine and / or choline, betaine, methionine, etc., (and it's very convenient to add DETOX / REGENERATING LIVER PROTECTORS with thistle milk, boldo, artichoke extract).*
Liver protectors are not medicine but cheap food supplements manufactured by pet bird vet laboratories that remove the fat from the liver, clean it and favor its recovery. It's essential to add them to the pet birds diet to conserve their liver. It's something that breeders and vets know, but we the owners usually don't know.

I really wish somebody would’ve answered your question because I have the same question? I don’t even know what type of pellets to feed this African gray that I inherited. All I know is he’s 22 years old, my mother got them when he was a baby and he likes to try to bite me. I currently feed him sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts, and some apples. I really wish somebody would make a video on exactly what mixture to feed these African grays. It would be extremely helpful to ask bird owners.

When you think you are buying a handreared African Grey parrot from a breeder... know this---
□In the wild they fledge at 11-12 weeks
□In forced breeding they are taken from their parents as young as 3-4 weeks
□Why was PVSA against escalating to CITES 1? It had nothing to do with their concern for employees losing jobs, nor with a professed and fake concern that CITES 1 would fuel illegal trade. It meant for them LESS QUICK MONEY
□Note in the video how your handreared babies are actually handreared..... what do you see?
□South Africa is the LARGEST IMPORTER OF wild caught African Grey Parrots..... (legal???? Or trafficked)
□South Africa is the LARGEST exporter of African Grey PARROTS in the world.
□Post-capture and pre-export mortality rates for Grey Parrots have been estimated between 30-60% and as high as 70% - 90% in some instances, suggesting that the actual number ofbirds removed from the wild have been significantly higher than those reported through trade (McGowan 2001, CITES Review of Significant Trade

Sir is it for sell I want to import
Marketing scammers for pure profit nothing else
cmetube your right but they are at least doing it the right way without taking from natural populations.
No they're not. South African breeders are some of the worst, keeping them confined in dark boxes, breeding them to death. They don't hold back their own babies, because it's much cheaper to import birds from the wild, as the birds are ready to breed. Keeping them on Appendix II, smuggling will still go on because they'll be able to "launder" them into the captive population (this is how birds are taken when countries reach their quotas). If they are uplisted to Appendix I, all greys will have to be permitted, which will make it very difficult to move around smuggled birds.
+Shari Mirojnick And where did you get your information from, wikipedia?
They have been upgraded to Appendix 1 since the first of january 2017 (Europe anyway- not sure about the rest of the world)- now let's keep our fingers crossed.
Even the birds already years in possession should be registered.
Let us put a stop to abusing these birds!!
