NFA bird Podcast: I am Johnnie Kamugisha.
The bird for today is the African Grey Parrot.
This is one of the most intelligent birds in the world.
They imitate several other species as well as man.
Every morning, they come to say hello to me at my house, as they fly away to go to field.
It is 30cm long that is from the tip of the bill to the tail end.
It is one of the birds that live long.
It can live for up to 50 - 100 years in the wild and in captivity respectively, meaning it will live 50 years in captivity, and if it is left in the wild it will live up to 100 years.
Their diet includes seed, fruits, palm nuts, but they may feed on leaves as well.
They like their food meaning they like eating.
Because of the destruction of their habitat, they are now found even in urban areas.
The bird for today is the African Grey Parrot and am Johnnie Kamugisha.
