Buy a African Grey Parrot in the UK
African Grey Parrots are a serious, lifelong commitment — they can live 40-60 years. Only buy from a licensed, reputable breeder who can provide a closed-ring certificate and CITES documentation (required as they are a protected species). The bird should be captive-bred, not wild-caught. Hand-reared Greys are more sociable but still require extensive daily interaction. Ensure you have the time, space, and commitment for decades of care. They are not suitable for first-time bird owners or households where they will be left alone for long periods.
