GREYPARROT
			Phylum: Class: Order: Family: Species: Chordata Aves Psittaciformes Psittacidae Psittacus erithacus

These great birds are extremely intelligent due to their ability to mimic human voices and other sounds. In recent studies, African grey parrots have proven to have one of the highest vocabularies of the entire bird species. In captivity, these birds require a lot of attention and affection, as well as some mobile ability on a daily basis. These birds will only talk if the owner cares for it, talks to it, and plays with it consistently.

The African grey parrot resides in West and Central Africa. The females are usually a lighter shade of gray with a slightly dimmer red tail, whereas the males are a deeper gray, with a more vibrant red tail. Though not as colorful as some of its relatives, African grey parrots are a favorite because of their amazing personalities.
