Help answer this question below.

I am thinking about getting an African Grey. Is there anything about these birds that I should be aware of? What is a good website to find out more information about this particular breed?

    Well I got my african grey about six months ago and there is so much i didnt know.
    They demand alot of attention to avoid behaviours such a feather plucking. Do not use teflon pans when cooking as they release a fume that can be poisonous.
    My big shock was that seeds are bad for your parrot as they are full of fat. They eat fresh fruits and vegetables, you need to check out what ones are not poisonous and how to prepare them.
    They poo........ alot........everywhere!
    Make sure you get one from a good breeder who has a history of disease free birds. Also read everything you can on parrots before buying one there is a lot to learn!!
    A good web site is www.birdsnways.com
    There is alot you will learn as you go along as each bird has its own character and needs.
