Grey Parrots

The grey parrot, also known as the Congo grey parrot, Congo African grey parrot, or African grey parrot, is an old-world parrot in the family Psittacidae. some grey parrots are partly or completely red. Both sexes appear similar. The coloration of juveniles is similar to that of adults, but typically their eyes are dark grey to black, in comparison to the yellow irises around the dark pupils of the adult birds. The grey parrot is native to equatorial Africa, including Angola, Cameroon, the Congo, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda. The species is found inside a range from Kenya to the eastern part of the Ivory Coast. Current estimates for the global population are uncertain and range from 630,000 to 13 million birds. Populations are decreasing worldwide.
