Description
The African grey parrot, grey parrot or Congo African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus) is an Old World parrot in the family Psittacidae.The African grey parrot is native to equatorial Africa, including Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Congo, Uganda, Kenya and Angola. There is much uncertainty in estimates of global population, which range from 0.6-13 million individuals. The species seems to favour dense forests but can also be found at forest edges and in more open vegetation types like gallery and savannah forests.African grey parrots are monogamous breeders which nest in tree cavities. The hen lays 3 to 5 eggs, which she incubates for 30 days while being fed by her mate. Young leave the nest at the age of 12 weeks. Little is known about the courtship behaviour of this species in the wild.
