There are two distinct sub species of the african gray parrot, the congo african gray, also called the red tailed gray and the cag and the tinny african gray, or tag. Often the large congo grays were Cameroon's because they were once thought to be a sub species from that area. But in truth, the larger birds were smuggled into Cameroon and had that country listed on their export papers. These birds tend to come in a variety of sizes and shades of gray because their natural habitat is so large. However, the keg, no matter the color or size, is still the same sub species. The keg is more popular of the two sub species, being larger and having a scarlet tail and black beak. The tag is smaller, with a much darker gray body, nearly black, with a horn colored beat, and its tail ranges in color from maroon to dark gray or black. Both birds make equally fine companions. African gray parrots are more likely to be available in avian speciality stores or from a bird breeder. African grays are also sometimes available for adoption from bird rescue or adoption organizations.
