Typical Size : 13 inches (33 cm)

Origin / Habitat : Originated from the wilds of Western and Central Africa.

Reproduction : Natural hollows formed in large old trees are breeding sites and the survival of this species in the wild is therefore dependant on the existence of old hollow trees in the African rainforest.

Oh, I forgot to subscribe to this channel. I have an african grey!

[jaywinchester]

That is absolutely fantastic. I need to get back into drawing as I haven't practiced in quite some time, and I also own an African Grey. So, drawing one of these beautiful birds seems like a good place to start off again. :)

[Cheyannsmom]

Absolutely brilliant, very talented, but again Dude,,,,,,,, Please....... the music really sucks and makes it hard to watch the video.... either choose softer kinder music or don't add any at all... Seriously, I had to mute to watch...

[LittleSonOfa]

Amazing!

[LuvMyFids5]

Seriously??? You are super talented and could make a good living out of your drawings........I know I would be first in line :) AWESOME!

[OFFICIALreaper5]

One flaw, were the ears are there is suppost to be really small feathers. Its easy to spot if you are like 3 feet from a grey.

But who am I to complain. You make it look like photoshop pro :D GJ

[MusicanoftheFuture]

WOW! BEUTIFUL!!!

I'm going to draw our African Grey Parrot Joey soon as I've already started the portrait. Then I'll probably do more paintings as well, as I can also pait as well.
