Red Factor-African Grey Babies

Red Factor-African Grey Babies Biography
Red Factor-African Grey Babies is an unbelievably rare genetic mutation of a traditional African
Grey. This is a naturally occurring genetic mutation which is why it’s so rare
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timneh_parrot). As with all African Greys, they are extremely
intelligent. They will watch, and observe everything in the house they live in. They will watch their
owners running to the door when guests arrive, going to answer the phone or to the microwave
whenever it beeps. Then, they learn to mimic those sounds to get their owner’s attention. Red

Appearance
Red Factor Congo African Greys are the same size as traditional Congo’s which makes them larger
than Timneh African Greys. They grow to 14 inches. They have red, grey feathers on their back. The
feathers on their sides, and down their legs are red and grey with white accents. The underside of
their wings are light grey with red accents, and red with light grey accents. Their flight feathers
are a mix of dark grey with dark red accents or white accents, and dark red with dark grey accents
or white accents. Their stomachs are a mix of grey with red, and white accents and red with grey,
and white accents. The stomach feathers fade to white with light red accents, and light red with
white accents that turn almost completely white at the base of their bright blood-red tail.
Red Factors just like all African Greys are amazing, and intelligent parrots. They are considered the
smartest of the parrot family, and the best talkers. Due to this, there are certain behaviors that
African Greys are prone to if not handled and trained correctly. Also, if not given enough
socialization they will very quickly turn into a “one person” bird which is very hard to break them
off.
Additional information

All Congo African Greys normally live to 65 years but are now known to live much longer due to
better diets and care that’s now available. Thought and consideration should go into
purchasing a companion bird because these are lifetime companions.

They can be very picky eaters, which leads to people giving them seeds as their main source of food.
This will cause health problems, diet issues, and obesity. They do need a large amount of social
interaction so they can bond with your “flock”. They are considered the most intelligent of all
parrots and need a lot of stimulation to keep them from becoming aggressive or self-mutilating.
Red Factor African Greys are highly intelligent. They need a steady supply of various toys, and
socialization to keep them mentally stimulated. All Africans need plenty of mental stimulation, and
socialization to help keep them happy and to keep them from turning to neurotic and self-destructive behaviors which African Greys are known to do if they’re not cared for properly. They
need a variety of different-sized perches to help exercise and stretch their feet.
