Are African Greys Good Family Pets? 7 Facts You Must Know

If you have ever seen an African Grey, whether in real life or on the Internet, you cannot help but be entranced by their intelligence, funny mannerisms and endearing but regal appearance.

Are African Greys Good Family Pets? Yes, but only if the family is experienced and mature enough to handle an African Grey. 

They are very intelligent and therefore need a lot of mental stimulation. An African Grey that doesn’t get enough of that could develop psychological problems and even start to attack family members.

Your African Grey Has His Own Personality

Your African Grey will have his own personality, but chances are, he will be playful and loving toward you once you get to know him.

African Greys Are Smart

Training your African Grey doesn't require hours, but spending time socializing and letting your parrot roam freely in your home is crucial for treating it like a family member.

They Live A Long Life

African Greys can live for 50 to 70 years if they are properly cared for. Some have even gone beyond this lifespan.

They Are Really Active
