Some one text me and asked if I would take in a african grey I thought to my self oh no not another. I said tell me about this baby. She said her grandmother passed and they dont want it . Also said they thought it was 10 years old and she got it at a pet store. So I drove 2 hours one way to check Elvis out. The house is run down trash every where out side. I thought oh god! I went inside and I about puked the smell and the dirtyness was aweful!!! The cage didnt look bad for cleaness I pulled my sleeve over my fingers and put it against the cage he didnt lunge at me he put his head down to be scritched.. his feathers were dull and greasy dirty feeling . No plucking that I could see. They made my time short like 5 min. The boyfriend said ok Elvis your visiting time is up. He folowed me to other side of cage as I walked away. I lectured them on feeding it was kaytee looked like all seeds. I went to buy them a healthier version. They also said they give him grapes a lot. I told them if I take him they have to listen to me until I come get him. So any pointers will help.
