AFRICAN GREY PARROT
These amazing birds carry a beautiful silver-greyish plumage that brings elegance to any environment. Although they require a serious commitment, they are great lifelong companions. African grey parrots bring joy and laughter into the lives of all who have had the pleasure of knowing one, as they are loving, playful, and intelligent. These talkative little friends enjoy appearing as guests in living room reunions where they like to pay attention to the conversations.
An African grey parrot eats twice a day and must have fruits and vegetables in their diet. They also like their meals to vary; therefore, it is important to add other types of food including hard boiled eggs, natural yogurt, seeds.
The African grey Parrot originates in the lowlands of western and central Africa, from northern Angola to Guinea. They can grow up to 33 centimeters in length, with an average wingspan of 46 to 52 centimeters, and weigh up to 400 grams.
Anyone who has had an African Grey will tell you that they can’t consider them a pet, as they have the intelligence level of up to a five-year old and the temperament of a two-year old. They are known as the “Einstein’s” of the parrot world due to their incredible ability to speak. It is important to know that African grey parrots are much more intelligent than they are often given credit for.
