Congo african grey vs Timneh african grey

[@Mishatheaudioguy]

I just got a Timneh today I love it. Will be doing a DNA test soon

When Mericans discover that in French and Arabic, it's called Gris du Gabon (Gabonian Grey) instead of Congo Grey…

"Make sure it has a" what? The closed captions is saying "sinus" but i know that's not right. Can you please tell me how I can tell that it was bred in captivity instead of kidnapped from wild?

[@Kompa_official]

All captive-bred parrots have a CITES. It's a certificate that proves that they are bred in captivity. Parrots who have CITES also have a closed foot ring or a chip with their personal number. Both Congo and Timneh are under Appendix 1 CITES. This is the highest level of protection.

@@Kompa_official Thank you so much for replying! I hope that didn't sound bad, I was just wanting clarity because I couldn't understand what it said in the captions didn't help 🌸

[@Kompa_official]

No, it didn't sound bad at all. Love getting questions and I'm glad I could help 😊

So incorrect. Not all captive bred birds have leg bands or certificates. Many breeders just breed and don’t supply them, and many nowadays don’t put leg bands on due to parrots getting their foot caught in a toy or rope and end up dying. Wild caught birds have been illegal for decades. I have no idea where this KZbinr is from, but she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

@@baublesanddolls In many countries you need to have Cites otherwise you can get heavily fined or your parrot gets taken away. It's not always been checked which is when errors happen and very unfortunate breeding. Cites makes it so people can't get birds out of the wild. It protects the wild birds. If Cites wasn't upheld people could go back to catching wild parrots. Not all parrot species require Cites btw. I could make a video to explain it maybe. There are indeed a lot of people who don't want a leg band. I myself am not a big fan of leg bands either. Some people go for chipping parrots instead of using legbands since these can't get stuck. Although with very small parrots this is often hard and not all vets will do it. And keep in mind that not all captive birds need Cites. Only the parrots who are endangered and listed on the IUCN. Arthur for example doesn't have a cites a legband or a chip.

Great video. But after watching, I don't know that I want a pet that is endangered. I would want to keep it in a very, VERY big aviary and find it a mate to propagate then release them.

[@Kompa_official]

Thats so noble of you. The only problem is that its hard to get them back to being in the wild. Parrots in the wild learn from their parents how to forage and find food locations. As a young birds they get taught where to find these. When you release young birds from captive parents, they don't have the knowledge and can't find food, making them unable to survive. I'd love to see large numbers of greys return to the wild tough. If you are interested, there has been a successful attempt at teaching captive birds the migration routes of wild birds. Keepers were flying in some kind of plane to teach the birds where to go. This was done with bald ibises. You can google bald ibises reintroduction.
