If you’re searching for a pet that’s not only affectionate and entertaining but also incredibly intelligent, a baby African Grey parrot is a perfect match.

Bringing a baby African Grey parrot home for sale affords you the unique privilege of raising and bonding with your bird, right from the start, allowing trust, loyalty, and love to evolve naturally over a lifetime. With proper care, stimulation, and nurturing, your baby Grey will become a bold, talking, and affectionate companion.

Why Buy a Baby African Grey?

Choosing a baby African Grey over an older bird has several advantages:
• Early socialization, thus firmer bonding with your family.
• Quicker adaptation to your home, sounds, and routines.
• Customized training and speech development according to your interaction.
• More extended lifespan with you — up to 60 years of companionship!

Start from the baby stage and your parrot is home in no time, well-adjusted, and emotionally attached to you, hence a very customized companion.

Appearance and Developmental Milestones

Baby African Greys are a bit smaller and fluffier than adults but begin to grow the distinctive grey feathers and red tail at an early stage. Their eyes are darker (almost black), paling to pale yellow as they mature.
• Species: Congo African Grey (most common)
• Age: Typically sold at 10–16 weeks
• Color of feathers: Pale grey with red accents in the tail
• Mature size: 12–14 inches
• Lifespan: 40–60 years given proper care

By raising a baby, you’ll witness every stage of development — from their first perching attempts to their first words.

Talking and Intelligence – Early Training is Key

African Greys are famous for their incredible talking and problem-solving abilities. While babies won’t start speaking right away, this is the ideal stage to lay the foundation for speech training, mimicry, and emotional intelligence.

Cognitive traits of baby African Greys:
• Start babbling and sounding out tones by 4–6 months
• Pick up words and phrases with repetition and association
• Can do puzzles and play with toys early on
• Show emotional attachment early if hand-reared

Studies have found African Greys to have knowledge of such things as color, shape, and number, and many begin learning names and sounds in their first year.

Caring for a Baby African Grey

A baby African Grey needs a warm, quiet, stable environment. Handling and socialization regularly are important for trust and confidence.

Key care points:
• Cage space: At least 36″ x 24″ x 36″ with ¾” bar spacing
• Temperature: Warm the room (especially if unweaned)
• Toys: Gradually introduce soft, colorful toys and simple foraging items
• Away from cage time: Begin with brief periods and increase progressively
• Handling: Gentle daily interaction to build trust

These parrots thrive in families where they become a part of daily routine and conversations.

Feeding a Baby African Grey Parrot

Depending on age, your baby African Grey may be:
• Hand-feeding (formula stage): For birds under 10–12 weeks
• Weaning: Exposed to soft solids like soaked pellets, fruits, and veggies
• Fully weaned (12–16 weeks+): Feeding independently

A healthy diet includes:
• High-quality pellets
• Fresh leafy greens and cut veggies
• Fruits like apple, banana, berries occasionally
• Calcium sources (they are prone to calcium deficiency)
• Fresh, clean water daily

Chocolate, avocados, caffeine, alcohol, and salty or processed foods must be avoided.

Health and Wellness

African Greys require close monitoring in their first year of life. Early vet visits, frequent grooming, and well-balanced nutrition must be done to prevent issues such as:
• Calcium deficiency (a highly prevalent issue in young Greys)
• Feather stress or plucking (due to boredom or neglect)
• Respiratory infections (from drafts or lack of cleanliness)

Our babies are clean-bred, vet-checked, and raised in sanitary temperature-controlled environments with all the love and socialization.
