Difference between Congo and Timneh Grey.?

Question

Im going to buy an african grey, im not sure if i should get a timneh or congo. Whats the difference beween them anyway. Behavior wise and in general?

Answer 1

There's not really much difference between them except that a Congo has a red tail and Timneh Grey's have flesh-colored beaks, so basically you're choosing one depending on appearance.

Both birds are good talkers. However, their behavior and such depends on the individual bird's personality.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

In general, they are very similar, but different! The Timneh is a bit smaller. The African Grey does have a bit of red in its tail and a VERY smart, talkative birds. Both varieties have amazing ability at mimicking sounds and voices. They both live for a very long time and make wonderful companions. They can be loving, but stubborn...and are often "one person" birds! Good luck! kjl
