African Grey  by ludwigsdiana

African Grey

I had to use a texture as there was a very busy car park in the background.
The owner let him out as he was waiting for his wife to finish her shopping. I asked if I could take a photo and was surprised to see how cool the parrot was.
Love the grey colouring and then the bright tail feathers. A bit different to most parrots

Beautiful ! We saw a lot of them when we lived in Gabon, each time a few of them flew over, my husband would make the same remark ; there’s a month’s salary flying over 😉

WE have one who constantly entertains us with his talking, singing and other noises he imitates. I would never let him outside though. This photo is terrific and you have done a marvelous job with the textures!

@ludwigsdiana Ours will make the sound of the phone ringing and then have a conversation and laugh at what he says. He whistles, snores and burps just like my husband and screams like the grandchildren when they were babies. He barks like the dogs and squeaks like the door opening and closing. It can be very confusingwhen we aren't sure if it is the bird or reality!
