What is the difference between African grey and Timneh?

Two subspecies of African grey parrot are currently recognized: Psittacus erithacus erithacus, sometimes known as the red-tailed African grey parrot or the Congo African grey parrot, and Psittacus erithacus timneh, also known as the Timneh African grey parrot.

Both are from Africa, with Timneh found in a smaller area, including Liberia and the Ivory Coast region.

The Congo African grey is slightly larger than the Timneh, and has bright red tail feathers. The Timneh’s tail feathers are darker and overall the Timneh usually has slightly darker coloration than the Congo, especially over the back (although not always the case).

While the Congo’s beak is grey, the Timneh’s upper mandible is bone coloured with a dark edge, while the lower mandible is grey.

The Timneh African Grey (Psittacus erithacus timneh) is the smaller of the two sub species of African grey parrots. Popularity for the tinier cousin of the Congo has grown over the past few years. The Timneh African grey originate from a smaller area in Africa that includes Liberia and the Ivory Coast region.

Are Timneh parrots good pets?

However don’t ignore the Timneh, they are fantastic birds, speak well and make excellent pets.

How long do Timneh African Greys live?

40-50 years

Once able to fly, the young will still live with the family and not be truly independent until they reach about 3 years of age. They live 40-50 years, living longer in captivity. African greys are considered to be one of the most intelligent animals in the world, rivaling even apes.
