Grey Parrot
Psittacus erithacus
Grey parrots inhabit humid lowland forests, forest edges, and wooded savannas of west and central Africa. They travel through the canopy to feed on seeds, nuts, fruits, berries, and occasional leafy material, using their strong hooked bills to crack hard foods. Adults are intelligent, social birds that communicate with varied whistles and calls. They are especially well known for their exceptional ability to imitate environmental sounds and human speech in captivity.
