Are African Greys legal in New York City? +

Yes. New York City and New York State permit captive-bred African Greys with CITES documentation. Every bird we sell includes official CITES Appendix II captive-bred paperwork. New York also bans wild-caught CITES species — our birds are captive-bred only.

Can an African Grey parrot live in a New York City apartment? +

Yes — African Greys do well in apartments when their mental and social needs are met. They're not the loudest parrots. They require a large cage, daily out-of-cage time, and consistent interaction. Noise levels are manageable for most apartments.

Does New York require any state wildlife permit for African Grey ownership? +

New York DEC does not require a state permit for captive-bred African Greys purchased with federal CITES documentation — which every bird we sell includes. We recommend confirming with your borough's animal regulations before purchase.
