Publisher's Synopsis
Psittacus timneh, the scientific name for Timneh Parrots, is a parrot species indigenous to Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia in West Africa. Psittacus erithacus, the more widely recognized African Grey Parrot, is a close relative of these creatures. In contrast to their African Grey counterparts,
Timneh Parrots are generally 10 to 11 inches (25 to 28 centimeters) in length. A maroon tail, dark grey plumage, and a horn-colored upper mandible characterize them. Timnehs, similar to African Grey Parrots, are exceptionally intelligent birds renowned for their capacity to acquire speech and remarkable mimicry. Due to their intelligence, compassionate disposition, and potential as companions, they are well-liked as pets. To flourish in captivity, they must have access to social interaction, mental stimulation, and a well-balanced diet. Constant conservation efforts are made to safeguard Timneh Parrots from perils including habitat degradation and entrapment for the pet trade
