If you need to find a new home for a African grey in Ottawa, Ontario, this is the free way to do it properly — and you are not the first. African greys are among the most commonly rehomed companion birds in Canada, and that is not a reflection on you.
Ottawa is its own market, several hours from the Toronto pool — which is exactly why listing here matters: Ottawa adopters have almost nothing local to look at, and a bird listed in Ottawa is the only bird in Ottawa.
Listing is free, and it takes a few minutes.
You keep your African grey at home the whole time. We screen every applicant, you read what they said, and you choose — or you change your mind and nothing happens.
List your African grey in Ottawa — freeAfrican greys are rehomed for the hardest reason of all: they need more than most homes can give, for fifty years. Feather-plucking, a bond to one person who has died or moved on, and a bird that becomes withdrawn when the household gets busy are the usual story. A grey needs an adopter with real experience, and finding that person is worth taking time over.
Whatever the reason, you do not have to justify it to us. The only thing that matters from here is that the next home is the right one, and that is the part we are good at.
You can, and plenty of people do. The difference is who answers. A classified ad brings you forty strangers, several of whom are reselling; this brings you a handful of people who have each sat through a screening interview first.
A lot of what makes people give a bird up — noise, biting, a temporary move, a new baby — has a fix that is cheaper than losing the bird. It costs nothing to read it before you decide.
