Cuerpo y estructura

African Grey is a medium bird type whose build should be read beside moderate movement demand, very high trainability, and a grooming load of 1/5.

African Grey history is species history, not a manufactured breed story: these parrots come from African forest regions and are famous for social intelligence and vocal learning. That background makes enrichment, routine, and emotional security central to ethical care.
