Origem, estrutura e função original
Propósito original
Wild forest parrot species kept as an intelligent companion where legal and responsibly sourced
Corpo e estrutura
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.

Treino e progressão
African Grey has very high trainability. Trust-first shaping with perch confidence and clear marker timing. Training plans should also respect trust-first stationing, target work, step-up reliability, and arousal management.
O impulso de trabalho está em 4/5 e a necessidade de controlo de impulsos em 3/5, por isso o ritmo e a recuperação importam tanto como a repetição.
- not every grey wants cuddly handling
- speech does not equal emotional resilience
