What is a gray parrot?
Gray parrots, commonly called African grays, are native to rainforests of central Africa, ranging in a band across the continent from Côte d’Ivoire to western Kenya. The largest parrot in Africa, this species has silver feathers, a white mask, and a bright, reddish tail. Males and females are very similar in appearance.
Their colors may be less stunning than other parrots, but African grays are bright in other ways: They’re among the smartest birds in the world and the greatest mimic of human speech among the 350 or so known parrot species. Research has shown that the birds possess cognitive skills equal to that of a five-year-old child. They will also help members of their species, even complete strangers, without expecting their altruism to be reciprocate.
African grey parrots Behavior and mating
African grays are highly social species, flying through the sky in noisy flocks and roosting in big groups amid the treetops each evening.They feed in smaller groups of about 30 eating foods like oil palm nuts and the berries of the cola plant grasping them in their claws and tearing them open with their strong beak. The birds will also sometimes raid human crops, such as maize.
The monogamous parrots which mate for life begin searching for mates between three and five years of age. A pair will seek out pre-existing tree cavities in which to make a nest lay a clutch of about three to four eggs which are incubate by the female. Parents are attentive building well-made nests and feeding their chicks together.
The pet threat
Because of their intelligence and ability to mimic human speech, African grays are the most popular pet bird in the world. The birds breed well in captivity, and at least 1.3 million gray parrots that have been export legally from Africa over the past four decades, particularly to countries in the Middle East. (Learn more: Have parrots become too popular for their own good?)
However, hundreds of thousands of others maybe more have died in transit or been snatche illegally from the forests of West and Central Africa as part of the illegal wildlife trade.
Because grays are gregarious and social, it makes them relatively easy to catch. Trappers, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo, tear down the trees to pluck babies from nests or put out wooden sticks covered with glue to ensnare roosting adults en masse. The majority of wild-caught grays probably die in transit. (Read
Purchasing an African Grey Parrot
African greys may be purchase from pet stores and reputable breeders or adopted from rescue facilities. Young birds may be easier to tame and train and will adapt more readily to new environments and situations compared to the older wild, colony, or parent-raised birds. Hand-raised babies often make better pets because they have been completely socialize with humans. New birds should be given early exposure to different events (young and old people, males and females, other pets, car trips, visits to the veterinarian, etc.) to help promote a calm, well-adjust pet.

African greys require regular, preventative veterinary health checkups. Your veterinarian should perform a physical examination, grooming (nail and/or feather trimming as necessary), and laboratory tests (as needed). During these semi-annual checkups, health, nutrition, and behavior issues can be identify and address. Veterinary checkups help prevent disease and will aid in the maintenance of a long-lasting, healthy relationship between you and your bird.
