Buy African Grey Parrot Near Me

We ship captive-bred African Grey parrots to all 50 U.S. states via IATA-approved live animal shipping. 'Near me' in parrot buying doesn't mean the same thing as buying a local rescue — the bird comes directly to your airport, typically within 24–48 hours of shipping. We're based in Midland, TX, and have delivered birds to buyers in California, New York, Florida, Texas, and every state in between.

Yes — when done correctly. All our shipments are IATA-compliant: temperature-controlled, direct-route (no connections), with a vet health certificate issued within 10 days of shipping. We've shipped hundreds of birds without incident. We do not ship during extreme weather windows.

Every captive-bred African Grey ships with CITES Appendix I documentation, a vet health certificate, DNA sexing certificate, hatch certificate, and our written health guarantee. These are not optional — they are required by U.S. law for interstate transport of CITES-listed species.

Congo African Greys are priced $1,700–$3,500 depending on age, training, and lineage. Timneh African Greys range $1,200–$2,500. These prices include full CITES documentation. Avoid any seller offering African Greys below $1,500 without documentation — that is a red flag for illegal trade or a scam.

USDA AWA licensed breeders (like us, License #74-B-0247) are subject to federal inspection and documentation requirements. Most local pet stores source birds through brokers — adding markup, removing lineage traceability, and often providing incomplete or fraudulent documentation. When you buy direct from a USDA-licensed breeder, you know exactly who raised the bird and under what conditions.
