Teco - 15-20 year old Congo African Grey

Meet Teco

Teco was relinquished to our care 3 weeks ago and is on the road to recovery. Teco is extremely fond of men, and allows my husband to remove him from the cage , gives kisses, cuddles, and even regurgitates for him. Teco is also a very scared guy, living in a few different places in his lifetime. We are working with him on stepping up, shredding paper, plucking issues, feather chewing, and mutilating. Teco does eat some of the fresh foods I provide throughout the day, and we are working towards a healthier, balanced, and rounded diet.
His previous owners are involved and love the updates about him. The day they needed to relinquish was a very sad day for them, they know it was the right choice.



Teco is a mutilator and is learning to shred paper instead of his inner wings. He is coming along nicely and enjoys my husbands attention! Teco will step up readily for attention for men, will also step up for women but I personally do not recommend it. He will step up just to bite you, so beware.


Teco will be available for adoption in the future, he will need many more vet visits before he available for adoption. He will do well with a gentleman that can provide him with care, needs, and a lot of attention.
Teco has a very extensive vocabulary, and speaks in a child,man, and womans voice. Many times I have answered him thinking he was one of the kids or my husband.

He will not be available for some time, but I would hope the potential adopter would like to spend some time with him before he is ready to move on to his new home.
