Psittacus erithacus
A large, over 30 cm in length, easily recognized, grey parrot with red tail, white face and black beak. Noisy.
This parrot occurs in central African region, prefereing forests and wooded areas, including palm plantations. Here, seen in a well wooded residential area, neighboring the city park on banks of river Congo.
I only had a time for these two furtive clicks, before this beauty disappeared and did not have other chance than cross the path of another African Grey in natural environment... I have another spotting of this species, but that was a domesticated bird...
