About Grey Crown Aviary

Our Story

Raising African Grey parrots with care, knowledge and family values.

We are a small, family-owned aviary based in the United States, committed to giving every bird individual attention in a genuine home environment—and giving every family honest guidance before and after delivery.

Inside our family home

A glimpse into the everyday environment where our parrots are raised and socialised.

Grey Crown Aviary is a family-owned business based in the United States.

We are not a large-scale breeding facility. We are a small, hands-on operation run by a family that has shared our home with African Grey parrots for over a decade.

Every bird we raise lives with us, eats with us and is socialised in a genuine home environment—not a commercial setting.

We raise only a limited number of birds each year, allowing us to give each one the individual attention, care and time they deserve.

We are breeders, yes—but first and foremost, we are a family that loves and understands African Greys.

Transparency before pressure.

Trust is earned through clear communication, realistic expectations and a process that lets you make a confident decision.

04

No High-Pressure Sales

Our pricing, process and care expectations are communicated clearly from the first conversation.

Confidence begins at home.

Our routine is designed to help young African Greys become comfortable with people, everyday household activity, healthy food and gradual change.

01

Hand-Feeding & Care

Each bird receives attentive feeding and daily observation, with weaning paced around individual readiness.

02

Daily Socialisation

Regular family interaction helps birds become familiar with voices, hands, movement and calm household routines.

03

Balanced Nutrition

High-quality pellets, fresh vegetables and appropriate fruit form part of a varied feeding routine.

04

Exploration & Enrichment

Supervised out-of-cage time, safe textures and age-appropriate stimulation encourage curiosity and confidence.

05

Carrier Familiarity

Gradual introduction to travel carriers helps make future transportation feel more familiar and less disruptive.

06

Ready—Not Rushed

We do not rush weaning or transition a bird before it is physically and behaviourally prepared.

Our relationship does not end at delivery.

Our commitment begins at delivery and continues as your bird settles into its new home. You can reach a real person who understands the placement process and can help you work through common transition questions.

We take time to understand your home, expectations and experience because a thoughtful match matters more than a quick sale.
