I highly doubt he gives a shit..

and the reason why nobody is buying them is because of their price tag.

There has been a sun conure in my local pet store for a few months now and he's only 350 bucks. I imagine a pet store would be selling a Grey for no less than $1,000. Good luck with that. They'll be there forever.

You also don't seem to be too fond or empathetic toward them but that might be because you have a plet, they are very different from grays.

Very different indeed. My Grey appears to know how I am feeling and what my mood is almost before I am fully cognizant of this myself. So she is remarkably adept ( by human standards ) at reading body language and/or is somewhat empathic. Totally different from my parrotlet.
