I didn't know until now the Timneh is no longer considered a subspecies of the African grey but a separate species.

Thank you for the learning opportunities a topic like this provides.

Also thank you for using my image and appropriately crediting. Also, according to ZooChat the animal in that photograph is Psittacus erithacus erithacus.
