African Grey Habitat:

African Grey Parrots live in primary and secondary rain forest habitats, favoring forest edge habitats, clearings, gallery forest, and mangroves. In some areas they can also be found in altered habitats such as cultivated land and gardens. They tend to be a lowland species, although they have been seen at elevations up to 2,200 meters. African Greys are found at their highest densities in lowland primary forest, at intermediate densities in montane primary forest, and at their lowest densities in coconut plantations. Ten thousand birds may congregate at communal roosts. Preferred roosting sites are often trees or palms located over water or on islands in the middle of rivers.
