African Grey Parrot Breeders Tips
The African Grey parrot is probably one of the easiest and most beautiful of the parrot family to keep. They are originally from Central Africa, they are known for the exceptional talking ability and the high intelligence. African Greys generally communicate well with their owners and are capable of developing a large vocabulary.
These birds are medium-sized normally growing to about 10 to 14 inches. African Grey parrots all may have two types. There is a Congo African Grey, which is light Grey and has a red tail. The Timneh African Grey is a darker grey with a kind of redish maroon tail. Usually, the males tend to be bigger than the females. Male birds and normally 12 to 14 inches in size. Both sexes actually look the same, however, the female African Grey parrot usually has a more slender neck and narrower head.
Because these parrots have a long life span may need some one will can make a long-term commitment. It’s not unusual for African Greys to live up to 60 years. Because of their high intelligence, African Greys require an owner that is experienced and who can understand their needs. The easily become bored so an interactive environment and stimulation is important. African Greys need their intellectual needs met otherwise their boredom could turn to feather picking and other behavioral problems.
Since they are so sensitive this can lead to behavioral problems. It seems that even small changes to their daily routine and surroundings can lead to an African Grey parrot becoming cranky and frustrated. More often than not, these birds are even-tempered and well behaved and make good pets but there can be a few challenges. African gays need to be disciplined, otherwise they can get into trouble. They could bite and chew things. They can quickly pick up behaviors therefore if you unintentionally show them bad habits, it will be just as easy to reinforce good ones.
African Grey parrot’s make fantastic pets because they are sociable birds. In the wild their natural instinct is to flock together. An African Grey parrot will adopt this new family into its flock. There has been reports of them actually cuddling family members. They seem to enjoy head scratching and petting, even though they don’t always enjoy physical contact. The birds strange signs of affection will not put off an experienced African Grey owner.
African Greys use regurgitation as a deep sign of affection, and will even try to kiss their owners. It is not recommended that you allow the bird to kiss you, because humans mouths contain bacteria that is harmful to the birds. Owners should really understand an important fact, which is these birds need companionship.
African Grey parrots have amazing personalities, as well as human like qualities.These birds have an intelligent that is unequaled by many other animals, and if you own one you should recognize this.
