African Grey babies complete the weaning process at approximately 12 to 16 weeks of age. A fully weaned bird eats independently from a dish without requiring hand-feeding formula from a syringe. This is the earliest point at which a baby bird can safely transition to a new home.
Any breeder offering an "unweaned baby" African Grey for sale — especially at a discount — is a serious red flag. Unweaned birds have very high mortality rates outside a professional breeding facility because they require precise temperature control, sterile feeding syringes, properly mixed formula at exact temperatures, and monitoring for aspiration pneumonia. These conditions cannot be replicated by a first-time buyer.
We never place a bird before it has been eating independently for a minimum of two weeks. This brief waiting period significantly reduces post-placement mortality and produces a more confident, better-adjusted bird in its new home.
Every baby African Grey placed by CongoAfricanGreys.com ships with a complete documentation package. These documents are legally required for CITES Appendix II species and are your proof of legitimate captive-bred origin:
Issued by our USDA-licensed facility confirming the bird was bred in captivity in the United States — not imported from the wild.
A permanent, closed aluminum band applied at approximately 2 weeks of age, stamped with the hatch year. This band cannot be removed without cutting — it proves the bird was banded as a nestling.
African Greys are monomorphic — males and females look identical. DNA sexing from an accredited genetics laboratory provides a definitive sex determination.
Issued within 10 days of shipping by a licensed avian veterinarian, certifying the bird is free of infectious disease and fit for transport.
Keep all documents for the bird's entire life. CITES documentation must transfer with the bird if you ever re-home or sell it. Learn more at /cites-african-grey-documentation/.
We never place baby African Greys before they are fully weaned, which typically occurs at 12–16 weeks of age. Any offer to sell an unweaned baby African Grey is a serious red flag — unweaned birds have a very high mortality rate and require professional hand-feeding equipment and expertise.
Hand-raised means the bird was removed from its parents at a young age and raised by humans using hand-feeding formula. This produces birds that are tame, trusting of people, and bonded to human interaction from day one. All birds from CongoAfricanGreys.com are hand-raised.
