    Hi everyone!! Very interesting in getting a young timneh grey. But finding it very difficult to find young ones in Ireland. Any ideas if anyone breeds them here? Or if anyone sells them? Thanks!

    Im a slave to a Timneh african grey. I adopted when she was a year old as an unwanted pet. The owner said she came from a breeder in galway but im not sure how true that is.

    They are quite rare here. I dont think anyone on parrots.ie breeds them. If you want any more info feel free to reply of pm.


    Just a word of warning I have heard that the guy in galway parent rears so the young can be hard to handle if you dont have experience.
