I am heartbroken to part with our Grey. Circumstances out of our control have us moving to a 2 bedroom apartment. Our Grey talks up a storm, is funny and sweet but he has a definite screeching time in the early morning and evening. That will be unacceptable in an apartment.
The other issues are that he is very bonded to me and bites anyone else.
I dont know a soul who will take him.
What do people do in these cases?
Check out ParrotFestival.org . They are a parrot rescue group in the Houston area. I didn't read the entire page, but they must have a "contact us" section.
Good luck!
Eta that website looks old, but if you follow the link to petfinder there's a page for the National Parrot Rescue and Preservation Foundation with contact info.

When an apartment says "no pets," they are referring to cats and dogs, not CAGED birds.
If you keep your birds in a room during his screeching time, your neighbors wouldn't even notice.
And don't be stupid and voluntarily disclose to your landlord that you have a bird. You don't tell, no one will ever know. Unless your neighbor complain. If it comes to that, you go to your Plan B. Have a Plan B in place just in case you need to get there.

LOL Clearly you have never owned a large bird.
When my cockatoo starts screeching, I can hear her from outside of the house up to almost 1/4 of a mile away.
OP I have no advice, but you do have my sympathy, I would be heartbroken if I had to rehome my bird. Good luck finding him a good home. You might ask your bird vet for advice.

I lived for a total of over 10 years in two apartments with my grey, who is also very noisy in the mornings and evenings (like most birds). I never got a single complaint.
I agree with swagger You should keep your bird! We have an African Grey and a Red Lored Amazon parrot. These types of birds can get attached to their owners... I would suggest you find a bird owner, so your grey isn't devastated because It can go into depression and pluck all his/her feathers out..Just think more on it and if you do decide to find it a home...please choose new owners wisely..
yep gotta say keep your bird Im sorry I listened to some stupid dr and re homed mine because of my asthma and now my new dr says that there are things you can do to avoid it like putting the bird in a separate room , etc wow and my husband was kind of yeah get rid of the bird ...wow I still resent him for that . Oh well take care and have a great day and keep your bird but yeah they can be loud and keep a plan b in place just in case .
