African Gray Parrot

]]> African Gray ParrotThe African Gray Parrot is a very striking parrot which originates from Central Africa. It is widely recognised as being one of the most intelligent of all parrots, and the best talker. It is a medium-sized parrot, which grows to be between 10 and 14 inches long. It is a very long-living parrot – 60 years old is not unusual!

One important thing to be aware of regarding African Grays, is that you should only buy one of these parrots if you are willing to spend a lot of time interacting with him. This is because their very high-level of intelligence means they can become bored very easily, and this boredom can result in lots of behavioral problems such as aggression, biting, and self-mutilation.

On the other hand, if you can provide them with the attention they require, African Grays make very rewarding pet parrots. They love and thrive off human interaction; they usually become fantastic talkers; and they will provide you and your family with hours of fun and amusement.
