The grey parrot is found in the primary and secondary rainforests of West and Central Africa. There are in fact, two species of grey parrot.

The Congo grey parrot is about 33 cm long and weighs 400-490 grams, with light-grey feathers, cherry-red Of all the parrot species, African greys are one of the most heavily trafficked for export. In Nigeria, the greys are further threatened because of strong competition for habitat with palm oil farmers and corporations. With ever more people in the world, there is more demand for palm oil, which inevitably leads to less space for grey parrots.
