African Greys
Elite Procurement Fee: $120
BEST FOR:
Experienced pet bird parents who are comfortable with spending time and energy keeping these super-smart parrots stimulated—and are patient enough to put up with a pet who loves to mimic any sound at top volume.
The African grey is considered the best talker of all the talking birds. This medium-sized parrot is super intelligent, charming, and friendly. Because they’re so bright, African greys need plenty of mental stimulation; a bored African grey can be trouble. As young pets, they’re fun and generally love everyone in the family. When they sexually mature at 5-7 years of age however, they may bond with one person and become overprotective.
