The African Greys are probably considered the most intelligent parrots. They are excellent at mimicry and copy the accent of the person they mimic. Greys can choose a favorite person and will be very affectionate with them.

The African Grey range is found in central West Africa. They will forage for food on the savannah but are primarily found in the lowland forests. Large flocks congregate at roosting sites in very tall trees along the edge of the forest.
