An African Grey Parrot is grey... with white around it's eye... and a bright red tail. The tail on the left is Bongo's baby tail (1 month), as he grows... so will his tail... as you can see by the tail in the middle (4 months). The tail on the right is that of a Timneh African Grey.
Watch a MPG movie of Bongo being cleaned up after his dinner... hear him talk!

Bongo - 2 Months

Bongo - 3 Months

The Congo African Grey Parrot (left) is about 13 to 16 inches and the Timneh African Grey Parrot (right) is about an inch smaller.

There has been some evidence that the African Grey can speak over 500 words. The Congo African Grey comes from the central part of Africa, while the smaller Timneh African Grey is along the westren coast of Africa. Both birds are extremely intelligent.
