The most Intelligent and Talkative Pet Bird

The African Grey Parrot is probably the most popular pet bird and is known to be the most intelligent and the most talkative of the parrot family. African Greys are excellent companions and will keep you on your toes. Not only can Greys learn a large vocabulary (some more than 1 500 words ) but they can learn how to speak in different voices. I have known African Greys that sound exactly like their owners and are able to successfully call the dog and even trick them into thinking the sliding glass door has just opened because of their unbelievable sound imitating abilities.African Greys tend to be one-person birds so it is important to socialize them with more people on a regular basis. Greys need plenty of interaction and things to do. Many become feather pluckers simply out of boredom. These pet birds need good mental stimulation so providing them with plenty of puzzle-like and interactive toys is a must. Teaching them tricks is another good way to stimulate their smart little minds.
