Visitor Protocol
Important Guidelines for Visitors
To safeguard our parrots' health and maintain a tranquil setting, we cannot accommodate spontaneous visits from unapproved prospective adopters. Following approval for adoption, you're encouraged to visit and collect your parrot! This approach ensures optimal experiences for both our African Greys and committed families.
Purpose of This Protocol
Our visitation protocol protects our parrots' health and comfort. Excessive visitors can distress sensitive birds and potentially expose them to illness. African Greys are particularly susceptible to stress and environmental changes. Once approved, we enthusiastically welcome you to meet your future companion in our controlled, calm environment!
Common Inquiries
How early should I schedule avian transportation?
We suggest arranging transport 2-3 weeks ahead for optimal flight selection and temperature-controlled arrangements. Earlier notification provides greater flexibility for specialized avian travel.
Is air travel safe for parrots?
Completely safe with our specialized service! Our parrots travel in-cabin with a dedicated avian attendant - never in cargo. This guarantees continuous monitoring, proper temperature control, and minimal stress throughout the journey.
What preparations should I make?
Prepare a proper cage setup, food and water containers, and a quiet acclimation area. We'll supply comprehensive care guidelines including dietary information and stress-reduction techniques.

Contact Us TodayGenetic Disorders Covered
Our lifetime genetic guarantee covers the following hereditary conditions commonly found in African Grey Parrots:
Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD)
A viral disease affecting feather and beak development, potentially leading to immune system compromise and progressive feather loss. African Greys are particularly susceptible to this condition.
Proventricular Dilatation Disease (PDD)
A neurological condition affecting the digestive system, causing the proventriculus to dilate and leading to weight loss and digestive issues. Early detection is crucial for management.
Polyomavirus
A highly contagious viral infection that can cause sudden death in young parrots, affecting multiple organ systems including the heart and liver. Particularly dangerous for unvaccinated birds.
Aspergillosis Susceptibility
A genetic predisposition to fungal respiratory infections, which can cause breathing difficulties and chronic respiratory disease. African Greys require clean, well-ventilated environments.
Psittacosis (Chlamydiosis)
A bacterial infection causing respiratory distress, eye infections, and digestive issues. Can be transmitted to humans, making early detection and treatment essential for household safety.
Feather Plucking Disorder
A genetic predisposition to compulsive feather destruction, often triggered by stress or environmental factors. Early intervention and proper enrichment can help manage this condition.
Calcium Metabolism Disorders
Genetic issues affecting calcium absorption and metabolism, leading to seizures, egg binding in females, and bone density problems. Common in African Grey parrots requiring dietary management.
Renal Disorders
Hereditary kidney issues affecting waste filtration and water balance. Symptoms include excessive drinking, weight loss, and gout. Requires specialized avian veterinary care for management.
