Known for sharp looks and even sharper wit, African greys enthrall pet bird owners with their uncanny ability to mimic and even, seemingly, understand their words and gestures. With great intellect also comes great sensitivity and, occasionally, frustration. These birds require a gentle owner willing to provide meaningful interaction and challenging toys and puzzles.
The P. e. erithacus subspecies is larger than the P. e. timneh. The timneh African grey is also a darker grey color and its red tail is more muted than that of P. e. erithacus (also sometimes referred to as Congo African grey.)
