About African Grey Parrot

African Grey Parrots (Psittacus erithacus) are highly intelligent and many of these birds have been shown to perform at the cognitive level of a 4 to 6 year old human child in some tasks. They are one of the most talented talking / mimicking birds on the planet. They have earned the moniker "The Einsteins of the Bird World".
