Pet Shop in Ashton, just round corner from Barclays, ask in there, I know he breeds them and occasionally has one in the shop.
But , think carefully before buying a grey, they aren't that easy to handle, they bond with one person and can be agressive to a rival.They also don't act kindly to being bossed!I kept one for 10 years before it died after being daft enough to chew an electric cable. She was a fantastic pet, but ruled the house, the dogs were terrified of her.
My sis in law has one now, it has the foulest mouth I have ever heard thanks to her teen sons and their mates.Once they learn something, you can't unteach them!
Also be prepared to pay a lot, you need a hand reared bird, don't go for a cheaper option unless you want to lose the odd finger.They also need copany so if it is gonna be left alone for long periods it will likely start to fret and pluck its feathers out.
If that doesn't put you off them nothing will......but they are worth the time you have to put in.
