The African Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus) is a highly intelligent bird. Even wild birds have been observed to be excellent mimics, which unfortunately means it is highly sought after in the pet trade.

Between this and habitat destruction, they are classed as endangered even though over half a million birds are estimated to exist in the wild.

This one was present at feeding time in the Waterfall Aviary at Jurong Bird Park, Singapore.
