Default My African grey (Congo) parrots

I have a breeding pair of parrots. Joe (female) was a rescue. She was kept in a very small cage with a swing and a bell. She was returned to the breeder as she was aggressive and noisy.

I adopted her and she had a big cage upgrade. She learnt to trust me and other people again.

She learnt commands/tricks and also talking in multiply languages, parrot, human, dog, duck, chicken and lots of wild birds. Lol

She can make ringing phone, emergency services sirens, car alarms and other noises. She now wolf whistles due to my neighbour.

She lived indoors until she decided she wanted a mate and now lives with Jake and 1 of the babies.

They have had seven babies 2 are 4years old (rehomed), 2 are 3 years old and 1 is 2 years old (the other two were reformed).

African greys are highly intelligent so need a lot of stimulation/enrichment/toys.

As they live a long time. They will be in included in my will, so they are cared for by someone I know or a sanctuary.

Check out info videos of "Alex" in the USA to see how much they can learn.
