African
Grey Parrot
Psittacus erithacus
Predominantly grey, but
with a white area around the eye and a red tail, this species is
one of the most common to be kept in captivity - one factor, sadly,
that has led to its decline in the wild. The male has a flatter,
broader head than the female, and is generally an inch larger in
size, with a wingspan of 13 inches. The female has a longer, more
slender neck.
