Dave:
Actually, I never had greys for years because I too worried about the macaws here. However, its really about how you manage their space. The TAGs aren't really at all dusty and the CAGs, if showered often, aren't difficult to maintain either. I have one of both. I run 2 air cleaners in their spaces. One in the livingroom (both greys are there) and another just off of my birdroom.
I vacuum a LOT. In fact, at least 2 times a day. Not because of the greys, but because my macaws are messy and make dust from shredding paper. I do shower my birds frequently, something that only makes them healthier I might add.
If you really love this bird and it finds you interesting, then by all means go get him. If you are only feeling sorry for it, then please pass. Its more important to place a bird in a permanent home than to rescue it from a petstore. I no longer allow myself the luxury of even going into any petstore. Its too painful to see the "detainees".
Greys are complicated creatures, so be prepared for an adventure!
