The most common color differences, plumage variations, and sizes occur in the regionally-originated species. In most cases, Congo African parrots have grey feathers all over their body. The feathers start with a dark grey color and transition towards a silvery and lighter shade right near the end of the leg and chest area. A whitish edging is common, along with the dark feathers near the head. However, upon closer inspection, you will notice a similar white edging on the light and silvery grey feathers.
Eyes normally appear as big and bright skin patches carrying white color. Furthermore, primary coverts and wings are dark, almost a blackish color. A common occurrence in grey parrots is “blushing.” It refers to when the white patches of skin turn pink. Other parts of their body, like the nails and toes, are solid black in color. But perhaps the most magnificent physical feature of the Congo African Grey parrots is its bright reddish tail.
