Congo African Greys:
We have one pair of very spoiled Congo African Greys, Sam & Libby. They left us for a very brief stay at a breeder's in Utah, but found their way back home to us this fall. Sam and Libby are both domestic and both very large birds. Some would say they are "Camaroon" greys, but that refers to the region not the species (at least in our opinion). Libby is a soft powdery silver; Sam is a darker silver. Both talk and whistle and are a delight. Their nestbox is on and we are hoping for babies from them this winter. Prices for a close-banded, abundance weaned, DNA sexed chick will be $900.
DIET REQUIREMENTS:
Our grey's get a variety of fruits/vegetables every day. They also receive a good quality seed mix, Zupreem fruit blend pellets, some mixed nuts, and various other goodies such as birdie bread, cornbread, whole wheat bread, dried or cooked pasta or brown rice, tuna, cooked chicken, sprouts, to name a few. They also get a crock of water to bathe in plus a Lixit quart size bottle for drinking water. We use Calci boost powder during the breeding season and they have access to mineral block and cuttlebone year around.
CAGING:
Our pair are currently inhabiting an Avian Adventures Castillo cage with playtop. This cage has a nestbox opening already built in. There is plenty of room for their toys but this is only a temporary set up for them. We plan to move them to a larger cage after the winter season has ended.
