African Grey Timneh

There are two species of African Grey generally kept as pets, the Congo (which has a red patch of feathers on the underside of the tail), and the Timneh (with no red tail feathers).

African Greys are probably the smartest birds. They can learn upwards of 200 words and all kinds of tricks. They are known to be the best talkers and frequently imitate lots of other sounds including the doorbell, telephones, microwaves, beepers, dripping faucets, etc.
