The Breathtaking African Grey Parrot
The African Grey parrot is probably one of the easiest and most beautiful of the parrot family to keep. They are originally from Central Africa, they are known for the exceptional talking ability and the high intelligence. African Greys generally communicate well with their owners and are capable of developing a large vocabulary. These parrots are medium-sized and can grow to 10 to 14 inches in length.
African Grey parrots all may have two types. One is light Grey with a red tail and is known as the Congo African Grey. The Timneh African Grey is a darker charcoal Grey with a maroon tail. Normally the females are smaller than the males. Male birds and normally 12 to 14 inches in size. Both sexes actually look the same, however, the female African Grey parrot usually has a more slender neck and narrower head. These parrots require an owner, who will make a long-term commitment to them. African Greys can live as long as 60 years. Because they are highly intelligent, African grays really need an owner with inexperience and is able to understand what they need.
Being stimulated in an interactive environment is important, because they can easily become bored. African Greys may turn their boredom into behavioral problems such as feather plucking if their intellectual needs are not met. They’re very sensitive birds, and sometimes this can also lead to behavioral problems. It’s certainly possible that even small changes in their surroundings out daily routine can lead an African Grey parrot to become bad tempered. Although there are usually good tempered and well behaved these birds make great pets but can be challenging. African gays need to be disciplined, otherwise they can get into trouble.
They might chew something or bite. They can quickly pick up behaviors therefore if you unintentionally show them bad habits, it will be just as easy to reinforce good ones. Because they are very social birds, African Grey parrot’s make fantastic pets. The natural instinct is to flock together in the wild.
An African Grey parrot will adopt this new family into its flock. There has been reports of them actually cuddling family members. Although these birds don’t always like intense physical contact, even so, they do seem to like head scratching and petting. Most experienced African Grey owners are not bothered bythe birds very strange signs of affection. African Greys use regurgitation as a deep sign of affection, and will even try to kiss their owners. Because the human mouth contains bacteria it is not recommended that the bird kisses you.
It is also very important the owners really understand the birds need for companionship. African Grey parrots are full of human like qualities and personality. Those of us who are fortunate enough to own one will be able to see an intelligence that not many other animals can equal.|If you are lucky enough to own one, you will see an intelligence unequaled by many other animals
