The African Grey Parrot - Psittacus erithacus - also known as the Grey Parrot, is found in the primary and secondary rainforests of West and Central Africa. Experts regard it as one of the most intelligent birds.

They feed primarily on palm nuts, seeds, fruits, leafy matter, but have been observed eating snails.

Their overall gentle nature and their inclination and ability to mimic speech have made them popular pets. This has led many to be captured from the wild and sold into the pet trade. The African Grey Parrot is listed on CITIES appendix II, which restricts trade of wild caught species, because wild populations can not sustain trapping for the pet trade.
