Greys are amongst the smartest of parrot species, so they require a lot of care to avoid boredom.
Large enclosure. The cage must be at a minimum 90 x 60 x 120 cm, with several perches, toys, climbing frames and other stimulation. The parrot must be able to fully extend its wings and flap without touching the cage sides. African Greys are quite messy, so lining the cage bottom with newspaper provides an easy way of cleaning the cage.
Their diet should consist of 70% commercial pellets, 20-25% fruits (mango, papaya, banana, pineapple, melons, oranges, apples, berries, coconuts) and vegetables and only 5-10% nuts, seeds and grains. Clean, fresh water should always be available, both for drinking and bathing.
Daily mental stimulation and attention. You should spend at least 1-2 hours daily in close contact with your parrot.
