Character
The Timneh African Grey is considered one of the smartest birds in the world. Slightly smaller than the Congo, Timnehs tend to be less nervous and often begin speaking at a younger age. They form deep bonds with their caregivers and thrive with consistent interaction.
Diet
Requires a calcium-rich diet. High-quality pellets (Harrison's, Roudybush) should form 60-70% of intake. Supplement with fresh dark leafy greens (kale, Swiss chard), orange vegetables (sweet potato, carrots), and limited nuts as training treats.
Habitat
Needs a spacious cage (minimum 36"x24"x48") with multiple perches of varying diameters. Enrichment toys, foraging opportunities, and regular out-of-cage time (3-4 hours daily) are essential for mental health.
