VIDEO | The adorable Jaco: Meet the most intelligent and talkative parrots
Jaco parrots (Psittacus erithacus), also known as African gray parrots, are known as one of the most intelligent birds in the world. Their ability to imitate human speech and other sounds is remarkable and they can learn hundreds of words and phrases. They are known for their cognitive ability to understand the context of the words they use, which makes communicating with them extremely interesting.
Jaco parrots are recognizable by their gray feathers and bright red tail. Their average length is about 33 centimeters, and their weight varies between 400 and 500 grams. They have a strong, rounded beak that allows them to easily crack nuts and other hard seeds.

These parrots are very social birds that require a lot of attention and interaction. They need a lot of mental stimulation, which can be achieved with toys, puzzles and regular interaction with the owner. Yako parrots can become depressed or develop behavioral problems if they are neglected or bored.
If you devote yourself enough to these beautiful parrots, you will always have someone to talk to, but also count on the part when they can copy simple words and argue.
These parrots are extremely interesting, but like any other pet, they need a responsible owner who will do their research before getting a parrot and find out everything that is needed to make the pet happy.
