Introduction
Buy Congo African Grey Parrot (Psittacus Erithacus Erithacus) is the largest and more commonly known of the two types of the African Grey Parrot. Congo African Grey Parrots are approximately 12 – 14 inches (32-26 cm) in length and usually weigh 16 ounces (500 grams).
They are gray and have a solid black beak with a bright red tail. Congo African Grey Parrots originate in Central Africa, from the southeast portion of the Ivory Coast extending to western Kenya and down to Tanzania and Angola. The Congo African Grey Parrot from Congo can be somehow larger and a lighter gray than one from Cameroon which would be medium-sized and a darker grey.
The Congo African Grey that is indigenous to Ghana and Togo is nearer the size and about as dark as the Timneh African Grey. As you branch out in all directions, Congo African Grey Parrots get larger. As you go eastward, the shade of grey lightens, and toward the South, the shade of grey remains the same. Congo African Grey Parrots are talented talkers and begin talking between 12 and 18 months old. They love to mimic sounds and are quite adept at sounding exactly like their owner’s voices. African Grey Parrots are flock birds and need interaction and stimulation to develop into their full potential. They are sensitive and very aware of what is going on around them. Time out of their cage and playtime with their humans and toys are extremely important. The African Grey Parrot is mainly frugivorous (fruit-eating) and will also eat nuts and seeds. An important part of its diet is the fruit of the oil-palm tree. these birds do travel great distances.
