African Grey Congo

Hints and tips:

Do as much research & homework well in advance before buying any bird, some birds have a human lifespan. Remember that It's not as easy to board a bird out for holidays as lets say a cat or dog, have all equipment in place before you buy a bird, cage, toys, supplements, food stuff, etc. Check where your nearest avian vet's located. If you're ever unsure of anything no matter how silly a question may seem, ask it anyway! (you will be doing your bird a great dis-service if your too shy or think your far to knowledgeable to ask..)
Learning is forever not for just a few years!
Visit the breeder/handrearer direct so that you can see for yourself the environment in which the birds are raised, if this is different to your own try and acclimatise the newcomers slowly by using foodstuffs and temperatures that they are used to, slowly weaning them onto your regime over a few weeks.
