Meet Sterling, a Congo African Grey with beautifully scalloped silver-gray feathers, pale skin around the eyes, a dark curved beak and a vivid red tail visible in the supplied photographs. This listing is for one parrot; the second photograph also shows another bird, which is not included. Sterling is stated to be two years old as of October 12, 2026. The corresponding October 12, 2024 hatch date is calculated, not supported by a hatch record. African Greys are renowned for intelligence, social awareness and vocal learning, but those species traits do not establish this individual bird’s personality or speech ability. A thoughtful home that understands their complex needs is essential.

Care requirements

Provide a spacious, secure enclosure with varied bird-safe perches, climbing opportunities, chew toys and rotating foraging activities. Plan for daily social interaction, supervised exercise, predictable routines and uninterrupted rest. African Greys can be sensitive to changes and require patient, consistent care, mental stimulation and access to an avian veterinarian. Feather dust, vocalization and a commitment lasting many decades should be considered before purchase. Individual health, sex, temperament and handling history are not verified by these photographs; request available documentation and discuss suitability directly.

Diet

Offer a balanced diet based on suitable formulated parrot food, varied fresh vegetables and appropriate portions of other bird-safe foods under an avian veterinarian’s guidance. African Greys need particular attention to calcium and overall nutritional balance; avoid relying on an all-seed diet or adding supplements without professional advice. Supply fresh water daily. Avoid avocado, chocolate, caffeine and alcohol.
