I probably would have been running an add like that right away just in case someone found my bird and tried to sell it. I wouldn't put specifically African grey or they might get suspicious, but any parrot wanted , you can always say that's not what your looking for. Just a thought BW
It sounds like you intend to buy a bird. I agree with Bird Woman. CG has the birds that are not wanted. Some humans are desperate enough to get rid of them that they will give them away free. (That really scares me. They could become snake food.)
I am trying to stay with just 3 species: DYH Amazon, BF Amazon and Cockatiels. I was so dumb about birds that I was shocked to see the BF so different than the DYH. I never thought about different Amazons.
Myrtle was on CL. The woman decided she was too much work and not enough fun. I saw in an instant why she was not fun and willingly paid the $300 homing fee to get her out of their.
It is so rewarding bringing these little beings back to physical and mental health. Some never make it and end up back in the rehoming throw away pile. It took a while and I was surprised that it took so long but Rainbow now eats good food and no junk. Myrtle gained weight, with nutrition she regained the color she was suppose to be and gained weight.
I was at that woman's house the next morning with the $300 because of the way the add was listed.
Yeah as we were gonna take Charlie we cant now unfortunately and yes my mam does intend to buy a bird, A baby Blue fronted Amazon though we are just going to visit him first.There are no unwanted birds here at least not advertised anyway.
