Looking for African Grey to adopt.

[Aree Wongwanlee]

I teach in Hatyaiwittayalai and I have this notion that an African Grey might be a good teaching aid. Yes, I know these birds are expensive but I am just asking in the off-chance that some kind soul planning to go back to some no-African Grey-allowed country somewhere might be looking to re-home an African Grey or two.

 

I have never taken care of any African Greys but I do have a breeding pair of budgerigars and a few breeding pairs of Ring-Neck Doves so I daresay I do have some inkling about how to make sure my birds don't starve to death.

 

If you are looking for a new home for your beloved African Grey, let me know. Oh, I am already past my 60th birthday. As such, I would expect the bird to outlive me. Most probably I will bequeath the bird to the school. Live not stuffed, mind you.

 

Thank you.

There's a guy in a cramped mom-and-pop shop here in Ranode that has one that is always chewing on cables and doesn't seem to fit...I will ask the owner if he wants to find a better home for it. Personal Message (PM) also sent.

Thank you, phuketsub. Where exactly is Ranode? The bird you are talking about sounds like a prime candidate for rehabilitation. Good thing there are cables around. Otherwise, I was told, it would be pulling its feathers out. From sheer boredom and frustration.

I had an African Grey for years, and raising one requires a major commitment. They seem to have the IQ of a toddler, and require the same degree of attention. Mine had a vocabulary of about 300 words and was able to communicate to a certain degree. They have a great personality, but need a family, as they want a lot of attention. I'm not sure a school would be willing to accept that kind of a commitment. Just my 2 cents..
I gave mine to a family with 8 kids, as I was getting too old to keep up with bird.

Thank you for the advice. I must seriously think about who is going to look after the bird after I am gone. Unless I leave instructions to have a birdhouse built over my grave.
