[African Greys For Adoption](https://charmingafricangreyparrotforsale.com/)
African greys are intelligent social birds that require regular interactions and a commitment to their well-being. The decision to adopt rather than buying is a method to ensure that these birds get the homes they deserve.
These intelligent parrots are renowned for their talking ability and can learn a vast vocabulary. A large cage, toys and enrichment are vital to their mental and physical health.
Intelligence
African grey parrots are one of the smartest pet species. Research by Irene Pepperberg and others has revealed that African Greys learn a vast number of words and use in context, unlike many other bird species. Their intelligence is a big reason behind why this Old World species ranks among the most sought-after companion birds.
These intelligent creatures can perform simple subtraction and addition as well as recognize colors and shapes as well as objects. They have been known for asking for specific items, like corn or long yellow, which demonstrates their ability to associate words with things. In fact African Greys have been considered to be similar to the cognitive abilities of dolphins and chimps and human toddlers.
This level of intelligence is what makes the African Grey one of the most popular species of parrot kept as pets. However it also means that these birds may have complicated emotional needs and are not a good choice for people who don't have the time to dedicate to them. They are a species that is a social one If they don't have enough interaction or mental stimulation they can develop behavioral problems like feather plucking or loud screeching.
Due to their high levels of intelligence, African Greys need plenty of opportunities for play and interaction with other humans. Owners should provide toys as well as chewable objects to keep the birds amused. These toys should not be made of sharp objects, hooks, and harmful metals that could harm the birds if eaten. In addition, the birds enjoy playing with puzzles and games, and regular interaction can to keep them from becoming bored and causing behavioral issues.
These intelligent animals could become emotionally sensitive, and form bonds with one person over others. This could lead to a problem called "one-person ownership" where the bird starts displaying negative behaviors towards other family members and even strangers. This can lead to a difficult rehoming of the bird or even euthanasia if it is not addressed.
Affection
The African Grey Parrot is known as one of the most intelligent birds in the world. The species can learn more than 1,000 words or phrases, as well as sentences. They also can mimic sounds and recognize human emotions. African Greys have a tendency to form strong bonds with a single person, and can be incredibly in tune with their handlers. They are very sociable, and they are a lot of fun to play with.
However, the bond of one-on-one could lead to a hostility towards other people or pets. This can be a problem in the case of children or spouses. In addition they are more prone to be bored and get angry if they aren't given enough stimulation and interaction. The best way to prevent this is to provide your Grey with lots of toys, puzzles, and other activities that will keep him or her engaged.
If you decide to adopt a parrot be sure to go to a reputable rescue organization to locate the right bird suitable for your lifestyle and living situation. The volunteers and staff can provide more information about the bird, its personality health, background and character. They can also offer tips and advice on caring for the parrot.
Aside from a spacious cage and plenty of toys, African Greys require an eating plan that is high in nutrients and protein. They also require a variety of fruits and vegetables to stay healthy and active. Beware of feeding your Grey a diet that is high in seeds since these can lead to picking and a deficient nutritional diet. Instead, choose a high-quality formulated diet in the form of a crumble or pellet.
African Greys need regular vet visits as do all other pet. These semi-annual checkups can help ensure that your Grey is healthy and content. During these checkups the vet will perform physical examinations as well as trim nails and conduct lab tests when required. The vet will also offer and recommend the best diet for Grey.

They may also make objectionable vocalizations that are difficult to get rid of. It is recommended to adopt a young bird since they are less likely to suffer from problems like these. However, even young birds require a good amount of interactions with their family members.
African greys are not suitable pets for all. They are not as playful and do not cuddle like Cockatoos and Macaws. They do not enjoy the same amount of freedom and choices that other parrots have, and they need plenty of time out of their cages each day to exercise and play.
In the wild, African greys are preyed on by snakes and large cats. Humans also hunt them for their animal industry and degrade their habitats. Many of these beautiful birds end up being taken captive and then transported away from their habitats. They then face challenges in housing, health and socialization.
Many of these gorgeous birds are currently found in rescue centers and need new homes. When considering a Grey to adopt it is essential to know how long it has been in its current home. This will help you to determine its emotional state and its history. It is also beneficial to check the availability of classes and online forums for African Greys.

Training
African Greys are smart and playful. They are also extremely adaptable. Their intelligence can cause them to become bored, and they'll need different toys and stimulation.

Freshly cut branches of non-toxic pesticide-free trees are a great way for your pet to be happy and mentally stimulated.
There are many ways to reduce the cost of owning an African Grey. Adopting an adult parrot that was rehomed by the previous owner is a good alternative. This is a more affordable alternative to purchasing an African Grey from a pet store or breeder.
There is also the possibility of finding a young, healthy African Grey at a shelter. They are often in shelters because their previous owners had to move, had an untimely death in the family or was too busy to take care of them in the future. It is important to note that these birds aren't in shelters due to being unhealthy.
The majority of shelters provide a comprehensive list of things that a pet needs to be healthy and happy, including an extensive cage and numerous toys. Some of these items may require a monthly fee, such as the cost of replacing them. Food is another cost that could be added. Parrots can live on a diet consisting of seeds, nuts and other vegetables, however they'll require more nutrients to stay healthy. It is essential to buy quality parrot food such as Harrisons or Pretty Bird.
Then there are expenses related to the cage and the accessories. A large, sturdy cage is essential for an African Grey. It is also essential to provide a variety toys to keep the African Grey entertained and to encourage natural foraging. A lot of these toys can be bought at a reasonable price, since most toys marketed toward larger parrots are suitable for African Greys. Consider buying a chewable toy made of recycled materials to further reduce costs.
