The primary threats to the Gray Parrot are habitat loss and the illegal pet trade, which have severely depleted wild populations. Conservation efforts focus on combating poaching and protecting their forest habitats. Responsible safari tourism helps by providing economic incentives for local communities to protect wildlife and their environments, including the Gray Parrot, and by raising awareness about the importance of conservation.
The grey parrot, also known as the Congo grey parrot, is an African parrot in the family Psittacidae. Psittacus erithacus was previously also known as the African grey parrot until the Timneh parrot, previously treated as a subspecies, was elevated to a full species.
