Overview and Appearance

The African Grey Parrot inhabits the rain forests of Central and West Africa and is ranked as one of the most prevalent parrot species worldwide. There are two types: the Congo African Grey (CAG) and the Timneh African Grey (TAG). The Congo Grey is a little bit larger with lighter gray plumage and a bright red tail, while the Timneh is a little bit smaller with darker plumage and a maroon tail.
• Size: 12–14 inches
• Weight: 400–600 grams
• Wingspan: 18–20 inches
• Lifespan: 40–60 years with proper care
• Colors: Smoky grey body, white mask, bright red or maroon tail (depending on the type)

The African Grey’s pristine feathering, keen eyes, and regal posture result in a dignified and majestic appearance.

Talkability and Intellect

The African Grey Parrot is widely considered the world’s best talking parrot. It can learn 1,000 words and apply them in context. This bird doesn’t just imitate—it talks.
• Ability to talk: Excellent – learns fast and speaks clearly
• Intelligence skills: Learns context, solves problems, and imitates sounds
• Renowned for: Voice mimicry, associating words with action, and even emotional intelligence

They have been the focus of significant research for their ability to learn and solve problems, typically performing at the same level as a 3–5-year-old human child on problem-solving and cognition tests.

Temperament and Personality

African Greys possess sensitive and emotionally sensitive temperaments. They are not necessarily as physically affectionate as some other parrots but form strong bonds with one individual or a few special people and desire quiet, structured environments.

Personality highlights:
• Loving and loyal (especially with one person)
• Worried and astute – does not rush to trust but is highly loyal
•_sensitive to mood and tone
• Needs mental stimulation and predictability

They do well in households with consistent attention, mental stimulation, and affection. A neglected or bored Grey can develop behavioral issues like feather plucking or noise.

Housing and Environmental Needs

African Greys, due to their intelligence and energy level, need a huge cage and a setting that is teeming with mental and physical stimulation.

Recommended cage and setup:
• Minimum cage space: 36″ x 24″ x 48″
• Bar distance: ¾” to 1″
• Enrichment: Puzzle toys, foraging toys, wood chews, and climbing equipment
• Daily out-of-cage time: 3–5 hours
• Quiet and stable location: Away from drafts and noisy, chaotic rooms

Rotate toys weekly and provide interaction such as training, games, and speech development to keep your Grey engaged and happy.

Diet and Nutrition 

A balanced and varied diet is required in order to ensure your African Grey’s well-being and health. African Greys are prone to calcium deficiency, thus nutritional care is most important.

Ideal diet includes:
• Pellets: Create high-quality pellets (60–70% of diet)
• Fresh vegetables: Kale, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers
• Fruits: Apples, papaya, mango, berries (in moderation)
• Seeds and nuts: Small amounts as treats
• Calcium supplements: Cuttlebone or calcium-rich veggies

Avoid giving chocolate, avocado, caffeine, salty foods, and alcohol.

Health and Lifespan

African Greys can live for 40 to 60 years with proper care, and some have been known to live longer. They are normally hardy but do require regular check-ups and a stable home environment.

Common health problems:
• Feather plucking (related to eating disorders or boredom)
• Hypocalcemia (calcium deficiency)
• Pneumonia
• Obesity (due to high-fat diet and inactivity)

Preventative care, proper nutrition, and daily interaction will go far toward keeping your Grey’s happy and healthy.
