Der er for få eller ingen kildehenvisninger i denne artikel, hvilket er et problem. Du kan hjælpe ved at angive troværdige kilder til de påstande, som fremføres i artiklen. Grå Jaco (Psittacus erithacus), eller gråpapegøje, er en papegøje fra Afrika, hvor den lever ved vestkysten og i de centrale deles lavlandsskove, men den findes dog også på savannen og i mangroveskove. I naturen er den meget meget sky og vagtsom. Den har en gennemsnitlig levealder på 50 år, men kan i sjældne tilfælde blive helt op til 90 år gamle.
