๐ Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus) The Grey Parrot, also known as the Congo Grey Parrot, is a medium-sized parrot, typically shades of light to dark grey with a striking, bright red tail. They are distributed across the lowland rainforests and forest edges of Central and West Africa. Highly social, they are intelligent, monogamous, and form large, noisy, communal roosts. Due to extensive trapping for the pet trade they are thought to be undergoing a rapid decline in the wild. They were previously known as the African grey parrot. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Endangered (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: The Grey Parrot is considered one of the most intelligent bird species in the world, often compared to the cognitive level of a 3- to 5-year-old human child. ๐ท: Photo by Honustyle123 via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/parrot-bird-wildlife-nature-animal-3350477/ EZEY
