AFRICAN GREY PARROT
(Psittacus erithacus)
A recent item in The Guardian says that African Grey Parrots are known for their ability to mimic human speech. However, this has placed them in grave danger. The parrots are being pushed toward extinction in the wild to feed the pet trade. Wikipedia states that this bird is not just a top talker, but is also known for incredible intelligence, which gives it the nickname "Einstein of the Bird World".
