It depends on whether you're going through a breeder, store, rescue, or private owner. Average price is $1200 for a hand tame baby grey. I got my male congo african grey for $1400. Less money for a rescue and way less for a private owner. I would not recommend buying from a private owner or anywhere where there isn't a vet record and/or health guarantee. Add onto that $1200, $600 for a large cage (at least), vet care ($200), nail trimming, wing clipping (if you choose), food, treats, toys, a playstand, and fresh foods. It adds up quick. Be prepared.

For a weaned juvenile *Very important do NOT buy unweaned babies unless you are an experienced breeder and handfeeder* 1200-2000 dollars depending on source.
For a cage, its another 400-1000
For carrier its another 100
For start up toys 200
For playgyms 200 or so
Harness and food will be about 160
Base birdie wellness exam (no tests or meds) is 65
Nails/wing feather trim is 20
And that's start up cost
Per month after that assuming no major illnesses/issues 100-150 a month
