Greys in stores here are from £750-£1000.


You have to really want a Grey at that price. If the bird gets sick
and
dies, it's on you, not the pet store. :/
I had a neighbor who raised parrots. She gave me my first blue
headed
pionus parrot, then a couple years later she gave me a female Timneh
Grey. They were both sweethearts!
Gave? For free?!?

Yes. Both were free ... gifts. She raised birds and wanted them to
have a good home. I hand fed out the Pionus, but the grey was about a
year old my neighbor gave her to me.
She must have been rich, Greys are expensive!


No, she's not rich. She just knew I loved birds, and she gave them to
me.

I guess that's why she's not rich, handing out £500 things like that.
[Shakes head in disbelief]


She raised the birds because she loved doing it, and she wanted to pass
that enthusiasm on to me, I guess. I couldn't afford to buy a bird like
either of them that she gave me, but I was given the birds, anyway.
Sometimes, people get more satisfaction about of being generous than
being rich.

Agreed. I gave away the last bird I had to one of Rhondas co-workers.
She was into birds in a big way so I knew Autumn would be taken care
of.

Thereby doing yourself out of a decent amount of money.

If you upset your wife or girlfriend then she will nag you.
However, if you upset her EVEN MORE, you will get the silent treatment.
