How to choose an african grey parrot
Commit to caring for your bird.
If you'd like to get a pet parrot, ask yourself if you're willing to care for it for a long time. If so, you'll be responsible for maintaining it, feeding it, and interacting with it for a long time.
African grey parrots can live up to 50 years. Consider how much time you spend at work or away on vacation.
