About
The grey parrot, also known as the Congo grey parrot, is an African parrot in the family Psittacidae. Psittacus erithacus was previously also known as the African grey parrot until the Timneh parrot, previously treated as a subspecies, was elevated to a full species. Renowned for its exceptional intelligence and ability to mimic human speech with remarkable accuracy, the grey parrot has been studied extensively in cognitive research. It inhabits the dense forests of equatorial Africa, particularly the Congo Basin.
