grey parrot
Mimicking African bird
A grey parrot is a medium-sized African parrot with predominantly grey plumage and a distinctive red tail, prized for its exceptional ability to mimic human speech.
Also called the African grey, it is considered among the most intelligent of all birds: Our grey parrot learned to imitate the doorbell.
The spelling gray parrot is equally common.
