Dr. Irene Pepperberg’s work with her African Grey, Alex, revealed that such parrots are able to count, sort objects, and even learn abstract functions—showing the same level of cognitive function as a five-year-old human being.

• Prefers routine and consistency for a calm, contented disposition

These parrots are best for owners willing to take some quality time engaging with their parrot every day.

• Daily out-of-cage time: 3–5 hours
