Both the Congo African Grey at left and the Timneh African Grey at right, are excellent mimics and can imitate the human voice as well as any bird species can! These highly intelligent birds require a lot of attention and stimulation and can become quite devoted to their owners. They are relatively quiet and domestic pets mimic the sounds they hear, thus the noise level of a Grey can be controlled somewhat. Greys can be sensitive and do not like loud noise in general. The Congo African Grey is larger and has a red tail whereas the Timneh African Grey has a maroon-colored tail. The Timneh is usually a bit darker grey color than the Congo and the upper mandible is a lighter shade. Both subspecies are native to west and central Africa.
