Einstein's Hatchday


WOW!Was I REALLY this Small?


It's hard to believe, but on June 15, 1997,
I hatched from an egg just like this!

A special thank you to my African Grey friend "Rita" for laying this egg.
(Rita doesn't have a mate, so the egg was not fertile.)

I love the photo of Einstein with the egg. Please ask Rita's owner how to get a grey parrot to stop laying eggs.

How do you get a bird like that? can you get them at petstores?

African Grey Parrots require a great deal of care and attention. You should seek out only a reputable breeder or a rescue facility for adoption. Please do some reading about this or any type of parrot before you buy one. You need to also know that they are noisy, messy, needy, and expensive. They may not be the right kind of pet for your lifestyle.

How old does a female African Grey start laying eggs? If Einstein's a girl, would she lay eggs someday?

Einstein Parrot said...

African Greys are mature sexually at about 7 years. If... Einstein is indeed a girl she is capable of laying an egg. so far, she has chosen not to.

I saw an african grey(for real, not from the web) for the first time last night.... ohhhhh
I wish I could have that sweet thing ready to go home with some guy. I realized that I probably would never keep one because of my asthma.
