CAG and TAG
Hello!
Well the main differences in a CAG and a TAG are size, color, and price.
Congo's have a bright red tail and have black beaks. The Timneh's have a marroon tail and the upper mandible of their beaks are much lighter in color and a slightly pinkish tint (white). They are also much darker in color than Congo's. Timneh's are also smaller in size. Congo's are slightly more pricey due to their popularity.
Congo's - usually range from $900 - 1300
Timneh's - usually range from $700 - 900
(it just all depends on if you buy from a breeder or a petstore. And location is a big facter as well)
Some people say, as do I, the Timnehs are slightly more laid back and less prone to feather picking and other neurotic behavior.
Both are excellent mimics and can imitate the human voice as well as any bird species can. They both also have the intelligence of a 5 year old. They also can have the emotions of a 2 year old child.
African Greys live 50 to 70 years. They will bond to you for life.
