African Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus)

The African Grey Parrot is one of the most intelligent bird species on the planet, often compared to a young child in cognitive ability. Native to the rainforests of West and Central Africa, this striking parrot is known for its silvery-grey feathers, bright red tail, and remarkable ability to mimic human speech with astonishing clarity. African Greys are not just talkers—they’re thinkers, capable of solving puzzles, understanding context, and forming strong emotional bonds with their human companions. Their intelligence, charm, and quirky personalities make them both fascinating and demanding pets.
