African Grey Parrot


[ad#blod-ad]

Also known as the Timneh African Grey or the Congo Afican Grey, this bird originates in Africa, just like the name suggests.

These birds are considered to be large birds. They grow to about 12, 13 inches from beak to tail feathers and this is why they need a lot of space to exercise and play.

The African Greys live for many years if they are taken care of. Their average life span is up to 50 years. Sometimes, rare specimens sometimes live to be 75 years old.

Many breeders say that the African Greys are extremely clever and very affectionate to their owners and all the family members. They get very sweet if they receive the right amount of attention and love. But if they are neglected, they get bored and can become unsociable and have a destructive behavior.

The name says everything about this bird
