How Do You Find an African Grey Parrot for Sale Near You?
Type "African Grey parrot for sale near me" into any search engine and you get two kinds of results: anonymous classified listings with stock photos and impossibly low prices, and a small handful of licensed breeders — almost none of them in your city. The hard truth is that legitimate, CITES-documented African Greys are raised by only a few families in the United States, so "near you" almost never means "down the street."
That is why C.A.Gs ships directly. From our USDA-licensed aviary in Midland, Texas, Mark and Teri Benjamin place hand-raised Congo and Timneh African Greys with families in all 50 states. Instead of settling for whatever an unverified local seller happens to have, you choose a fully documented bird and have it flown to the major airport nearest you in an IATA-compliant carrier.
Every bird leaves with the same packet, whether it is going to Florida or Oregon: a CITES Appendix I captive-bred record, a DNA sexing certificate, an avian-vet health certificate dated within 10 days of travel, a hatch certificate with band number, and a written health guarantee. Browse your state or city below to see shipping routes and pickup details for your area — or, if you would rather start with the birds themselves, see every African Grey currently available and its price.

Common Questions
African Grey for Sale Near You — Your Questions Answered
Can you ship an African Grey parrot to my state?
Yes. C.A.Gs ships captive-bred Congo and Timneh African Greys to all 50 states from our home aviary in Midland, Texas. Your bird travels in an IATA-compliant live-animal carrier with an avian-vet health certificate dated within 10 days of departure, and you collect it at the cargo facility of your nearest major airport — calm, hydrated, and fully documented.
Is there an African Grey breeder near me?
Most buyers are not within driving distance of a licensed African Grey breeder — there are very few in the country. Rather than risk an unverified local seller, families in all 50 states have a fully documented bird shipped directly from our USDA-licensed Texas aviary. Browse your state or city above to see the shipping routes and airport pickup details for your area.
Is it legal to own an African Grey parrot in my state?
Yes. African Greys are listed on CITES Appendix I, which bans trade in wild-caught birds — but captive-bred African Greys are legal to own and transfer in every U.S. state with proper documentation. Every C.A.Gs bird is U.S. captive-bred and ships with its CITES captive-bred record, so your ownership is on solid legal ground anywhere in the country.
How much does it cost to ship an African Grey parrot?
Shipping is quoted per route, based on your nearest airport and the season, and always uses an airline-approved live-animal carrier with full health documentation. Teri gives you the exact figure before any deposit, so there are never surprise charges on travel day.
Do you have African Greys available near my city?
Availability changes with each clutch rather than by city — every available Congo and Timneh can ship to any of the 40+ metros listed above. Tell us your city in your inquiry and we will confirm which birds can travel to you and when.
Why don't you have a store in my city?
C.A.Gs is a family aviary, not a pet store — Mark and Teri Benjamin hand-raise every bird in their Midland, Texas home and ship directly to your family. That direct-from-breeder model is exactly why every bird arrives fully socialized, DNA-sexed, and documented, with no middleman handling it along the way.
How do I pick up my African Grey after it ships?
Your bird flies as live-animal cargo to the major airport nearest you. You collect it at the airline's cargo counter — not the passenger terminal — a few hours after landing, present your ID, and bring it home in the carrier it traveled in. We walk you through the exact steps for your specific airport before travel day.
