These avians, indigenous to the rainforests of West and Central Africa, are distinguished by their vivid gray plumage, crimson tails, and remarkable vocal prowess.

Indigenous to the rainforests of West and Central Africa, these parrots inhabit nations like Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Gabon.
