They are well-known for their vocalizations early in the morning and at the beginning of each new day and they may also screech when they are upset or sad.
Due to their intelligence, African Greys require lots of mental stimulation to keep them healthy and happy. This can be accomplished by using many toys designed for their specific needs. They must be carefully designed to ensure that they are safe for birds, and that they do not contain tiny pieces that could be chewed, or links that could entrap the feet or beak.
A cage that is large enough to allow the bird explore and roam is also essential. A cage made of wrought iron is the best choice, and it should not be contaminated with any chips or rust that could harm the bird. The bars of the cage must be spaced to a maximum of 3/4 of an inch.
African greys aren't averse to be rubbed or touched but some might enjoy a gentle head scratch. A family member who is able to spend time with the bird in the home to foster stimulation and interaction is vital, as these birds are not suitable for homes with a single member. These birds thrive on being a part of the family and can be stressed if they are relegated to life in a cage alone all day.

Feeding

This can often lead to screaming, which is a form of communication for them.
A high-quality pellet diet is required for African Greys as the diets that are solely based on seeds lack nutrients. Even the newest 'fortified' diets have limited nutrients due to the fact that Greys only eat the insides of the seeds and not the outer shell that is a source of nutrients. A good quality pellet diet is a healthier alternative to a seed only diet, and the bird will require less supplements.
Supplements should only be used when a diet isn't enough to meet the nutritional requirements of the Bird African Grey For Sale (

The bar spacing must be tight enough so your clever Grey is unable to escape from his cage.
