The care below is african greys-level guidance from our species hub, sourced to Merck Veterinary Manual — Exotic & Laboratory Animals: Pet Birds and RSPCA — Pet birds advice.

Enrichment: a bored grey is a self-destructive grey
Greys need 3–4 hours of supervised out-of-cage time, foraging toys that make them work for food, and social interaction every day. A cage under 36×24×48 in (90×60×120 cm) is too small for a bird this smart. Without mental work they pluck feathers and scream. This is the single biggest reason greys are surrendered.
The rehoming red flag
African greys are among the most rehomed parrots precisely because buyers underestimate the 50-year, high-enrichment, noise-and-mess reality. They are not for apartments with thin walls or owners who travel often. If you cannot commit for decades of daily engagement, a budgie or cockatiel is the honest choice.
