About Us
Our Story and Passion
At Elite African Greys, our story began more than fifteen years ago with a simple, heartfelt love for African Grey parrots. What started as a personal passion quickly grew into a lifelong calling — raising intelligent, emotionally sensitive, and exceptionally trainable African Greys in a warm, nurturing, family-centered environment. Today, we are proud to be one of the most trusted small, home-based African Grey breeders in the United States.
Unlike large commercial aviaries, our breeding operation is intentionally small. We believe that every African Grey deserves personalized attention, gentle handling, emotional bonding, and a peaceful upbringing. Our home is not a facility — it is a place filled with love, laughter, human interaction, and family routines that help shape healthy, confident parrots.
Our Family Approach
From the moment each chick hatches, it is welcomed into the heart of our home. Our birds are raised around children, adults, and everyday household activities. They hear conversations, music, natural sounds, and feel the natural flow of family life. This early exposure plays a huge role in creating calm, grounded, and socially confident parrots.
We take pride in:
Maintaining a clean, organized, hygienic home environment
Providing continuous socialization from hatch to weaning
Ensuring every chick is hand-fed with care and precision
Encouraging exploration, play, and bonding
Because we raise our birds inside our home—not in a shed or external building—they grow up trusting humans, adapting easily to new families, and developing a strong emotional foundation.
Our Experience and Expertise
With 15+ years of dedicated breeding experience, we understand the unique needs of African Greys. They are highly intelligent animals with deep emotional depth, and raising them correctly requires patience, empathy, and knowledge. We follow ethical breeding practices, staying updated on avian health, nutrition, enrichment, and behavioral science.
We partner with experienced avian veterinarians to ensure our birds remain in optimal health. Our diet includes a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, pellets, and occasional seeds — designed to support long-term vitality.
A Home Where Parrots Thrive
Our aviary space is intentionally enriched with:
Natural wooden perches
Interactive toys rotated weekly
Safe climbing structures
Stimulating colors, textures, and puzzles
Gentle exposure to household sounds and routines
African Greys raised in calm, clean, family environments tend to be more confident and emotionally stable. They are less prone to stress, fear-based behaviors, or social withdrawal. We prioritize not just physical health, but emotional wellness.
Why African Greys Hold a Special Place in Our Hearts
African Greys are extraordinarily intelligent — often considered one of the smartest bird species in the world. They are known for their:
Exceptional talking ability
Problem-solving skills
Emotional awareness
Strong memory retention
Human-like reasoning instincts
But beyond their “famous intelligence,” they are deeply affectionate birds capable of forming lifelong bonds. When raised with warmth and consistency, they become loyal companions who truly become part of your family.
Our Mission
Elite African Greys is built on a mission to:
Raise healthy, well-socialized parrots
Educate new owners with honesty and transparency
Match each bird with a loving, responsible forever home
Support families long after they take their new companion home
We believe that every bird deserves the chance to thrive in a peaceful, respectful, and loving environment — and every family deserves a bird raised with intention and care.
Transparency and Trust
We take pride in being open with our buyers. We welcome questions about our breeding process, daily routines, health protocols, and socialization methods. We also provide ongoing support, whether you need guidance on diet, training, enrichment, or first-time bird ownership.
Our promise is simple: honesty, quality, and compassionate care — always.
Thank you for taking time to learn about us. We look forward to helping you welcome the perfect African Grey into your home.
