		The purchaser of a young Grey Parrot may be too excited to notice the important aspects of how their bird has been kept and fed. Because Grey Parrots have a sensitive nature, they can be more stressed by a transfer to a new location than, for example, an Amazon.
		If the young Grey has been feeding from a low perch with food containers at the same level, and he is placed in a larger cage, he will probably climb to the higher perch but may be very reluctant to climb down to feed.
		For a young grey under the age of 16 weeks, it is advisable to place the perches at a lower level initially and then move them higher overtime as the bird becomes more confident with the height.
