Although considered to be one of the highest types of parrots, they are the most neurotic, temperamental, nippy and shy parrots.
Considered the best imitators of all parrots, these parrots are known to entice people to expect much of their performance due to their phenomenal speech, their problem solving and reasoning, and their ability to understand human language.
These parrots are usually medium sized parrots from Africa. Mostly gray with white zone accents around the eyes, they are also famous for their red or granate shells. Basically there are two subspecies: Congo, which measures approx. 12 inches to 30 cm long, with light gray feathers, dark red tails and black beak, and the smaller Timeline breed have a darker anthracite gray, a darker brown tail, with a horn-colored beak. Today we also know a third and a fourth subspecies: Ghana, which is similar to Congo, but darker and smaller and Cameroon or big silvers.
These relatively quiet parrots have an average lifetime of 50 to 65 years and are known to feed primarily on nuts and fruits, usually supplemented with vegetables. These birds are known to tend to tear their feathers if they are bored and tend to attach to only one person if they are not accustomed to interacting with different people regularly.
The determination of a parrot's sex depends much on his physical characteristics: men are generally higher, have round eyes, a flatter and wider head, while women have longer, slender necks, small heads. rounded and elliptical eyes.
