African greys live in densely wooded swampy areas. They have a talent for imitating human voices and other sounds. This is one reason why they are very popular cage birds.
Unfortunately, the big demand for African greys as pets has made them a highly endangered species in the wild.
African greys make many different sounds: they “talk” with each other in the dense forests where visual contact is sometimes difficult.
