How Smart are African Grey Parrots?
African Grey Parrots have been popular pets for over 4,000 years — ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all kept pet African Greys, and England’s King Henry VIII was known to have an African Grey Parrot. African Grey Parrots are extremely sociable, loving, and intelligent animals. They are capable of learning hundreds of human words and sounds, which can be used in their proper contexts. Some researchers say that African Grey Parrots have intelligence equivalent to that of a six year old child.
