Exotic - The grey parrot is medium-sized, predominantly grey and black-billed. A wingspan of 46–52 cm (18–20+1⁄2 in). The head and wings are generally darker than the body. Head and body feathers have slight white edges; the tail feathers are red.
Due to selection by breeders, some grey parrots are partly or completely red. Both sexes appear similar. Juvenile colouration is similar to that of adults, but typically their eyes are dark grey to black, compared to adults' yellow irises around dark pupils,and their undertail coverts are tinged with grey.
Grey parrots may live for 40–60 years in captivity, although their mean lifespan in the wild appears to be shorter — approximately 23 years.
