African Grey Species Profile: Life Span, Diet, and Care
Drs. Foster & Smith Educational Staff
Cacatua goffini
The African Grey can be a charming, playful and affectionate companion. African Grey love people and like to
cuddle, although they are usually less dependent . They are very active, and
need extended periods of time outside of the cage as well as a variety of toys to prevent stress that
could lead to feather-picking and destructive behavior. Examples of good toys include foraging
toys, soft wood toys, tree branches and rope toys for chewing, braided or knotted toys for
undoing, bells and noisemaker toys, and brightly-colored acrylic toys.
Like other African Greys, Petty can be loud screechers, especially if they do not receive adequate
attention or have things to keep them busy. Most African Greys respond to music
and love to dance. They are very bright, love to play, and may quickly learn to open the cage
door. This bird is big in personality! If you are able to provide the time and
stimulating environment they need, an African Grey can be a delightful companion for years
to come.
