MJ, the African Grey Parrot, Exploring

MJ is very reluctant to leave his cage. Since I don't want him to become "cage-bound," I take him out and let him explore, sometimes. This is a video of one of his explorations. He attacks the video camera & later finds Mom cleaning the bathroom. [Don't worry, Mom wasn't using any chemical cleaners. She was just washing the items on the counter with soap and water.]

Whats The range Of Price?

I'm not really sure. My grandma bought MJ in 1998 - from a pet store - and I don't really remember. I think it was close to $1000. His cage was either $550 or $600. Hope this helps.

I love it when he comes up to the camera. He's a cutie; good idea to let him out to explore.

you wouldnt say that if you realized that clipping them means he can go outside.

Its a good trade since otherwise we couldnt bring ours to the park to play. we throw him up inthe air so he gets height and can work his musckes...trust me, I think hed rather go out than be house bound. I am sure hed love to fly too but hes happy and loved and get the sun in his face and the attention of kids.

clipped wings mean more freedom as a pet than some would expect,

Their potty trained. I bet you've never had a potty trained parrot before huh.

so beautiful. I saw a tv program and the lady's parrot slept in her bed with her. Just snuggled right up. I don't think most people realize just how intelligent, social, and affectionate they truly are.
