About the grey parrot

Hello, This is duz😁

 

The parrot is one of many beloved pets 🦜 intelligent and highly social.

In my last post, I took a general look at how to keep a parrot.🙂

Today, we will have a time to find out about the most intelligent gray parrot among parrots.

 

【Characteristics of the Gray Parrot】

The grey parrot has a large black beak, as shown in the picture above, and its eyes are white and its body feathers are gray.

However, unlike the feathers on the body, the feathers on the tail are red.

The grey parrot's body is 35-40cm long and weighs about 400g, which is a large species, but it is timid and weak against cold.

Gray parrots vary in appearance depending on gender.

Female grey parrots are smaller, lighter in weight, and male grey parrots are larger.

However, it is not easy to distinguish between genders by eyes.👀

In addition, gray parrots also have differences in appearance depending on their age.

Young grey parrots have darker feathers and their tails turn red when they reach reproductive age🧐

 

【Intelligence and longevity of grey parrots】

Gray parrots have a very long lifespan of 40 to 60 years, and gray parrots are known as the most intelligent parrots among them.🦜

In general, the intelligence of grey parrots is known to have similar intelligence to that of a five-year-old child and similar feelings to that of a two-year-old child.

They follow people well because of their high intelligence, but they need to be careful because they can hurt themselves if they are severely stressed due to their high intelligence.😥

《Grey Parrot Alex, famous for being a genius parrot, was trained by Dr. Irene Pepperberg of the United States to memorize 100 words, identify 50 objects, and express emotions.》

 

 

【The prey and habitat of grey parrots】

Gray parrots live in vine communities or in wetlands and in the forests of alpine areas and are distributed around Lake Victoria in Ghana, Africa, and in Angola.

Gray parrots usually eat seeds, vegetables, and fruits, and they also provide peanuts or some fruit for nutrition.🥜

However, if you have a large amount of peanuts or fruits, you should pay only a small amount because it is bad for your health.✍

 

 

【Breeding of grey parrots】

Gray parrots are animals that hundreds of them live in groups.🦜

Gray parrots are said to be animals with one partner for life.🥰

Gray parrots raised at home spend two breeding seasons a year, spring and fall, entering the nest and preparing to spawn.

They start laying eggs in the nest, and they lay one every three days, and they lay a total of three to five eggs🥚

After about a month in the nest after spawning, the young will hatch from the eggs, and they will be raised in the nest for about 80 days after hatching.

 

【Raising a grey parrot】

❌Gray parrots are endangered animals❌

It is said that first-class wild grey parrots are not allowed to be raised, but second-class grey parrots reproduced by artificial insemination can be raised at home.🙂

Since gray parrots are weak in the cold, they should maintain a temperature of about 25 degrees Celsius, and they should be sensitive to sound and humidity to provide a kennel in a quiet space and keep the humidity neither high nor low.

Gray parrots are highly intelligent and can feel lonely, so you should be careful because they can hurt yourself if loneliness persists.😰

Also, to raise a gray parrot, you need to basically prepare a cage, a perch, and a toy.

 

So far, we have had time to find out about gray parrots.

I hope today's post helped anyone who was curious about the grey parrot and I'll come back with a informative and interesting post next time.
