Post: H2O talker African Grey Parrots for new homes

Posted by Latitia Roland on 3/06/12

We have a 22 yr old female African Grey that is in need of a
home and three other grey babies ready to meet their new
homes . She does speak around 450+ different words, and we
do have a list of her sayings that we can give you. We
acquired her from her previous owner who was concerned about
his plucking, it has become a habit for her and we have not
been able to stop the learned habit. She does have an issue
with biting at times and because of this and her plucking we
would prefer her to go to someone who is knowledgeable in
handling these guys. We are asking $750.00 for the parrot,
her cage and all accessories and food menu we have for
her.We are asking $500 for the up-springs which are ready to
be shipped as well .
You took this birds with the idea that you were going to be
the"one" to make them whole again. You have failed
miserably, so now this old guys gets passed on AGAIN! Can't
you live with a less-than-perfect birds? I'm sure you have
your shortcomings if we asked the birds. And $750 for a 22
year old bird? Are you nuts?
Do the right thing and send her to a rescue such as the
Gabriel Foundation where she can live out her life in peace
and "imperfection."
Oh heaven forbid should we try to find her an owner who is
more knowledgeable with birds. The horrors of doing such a
thing! How could we possibly be so horrible trying to find
someone with
experience dealing with a chronic plucker and biter!? Oh no!
We don't want them going to someone who doesn't know what
they are doing??? WHAT!? How could we possibly limit the
people we are
willing to let them go to?!
I'm sure we can find many shortcomings for you as well...
