Been thinking about getting an African Grey

I had one growing up. One of the best pets i've ever had. It's a typical pet...eats, sleeps and shits. Only real difference it shits where it lives.

It whistled songs, repeated what it was taught and what it heard enough...like cuss words, etc. Sat in the palm of my hand and let me pet its stomach, etc.

DO NOT feed them sunflower seeds in their seed mix. Sunflower seeds are like crack to them and they'll throw all the other food all over the place digging for sunflower seeds
