Psittacus (African grey parrots) is a genus of parrots in the subfamily Psittacinae. It contains two species, the grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus) and the Timneh parrot (Psittacus timneh).
For many years, the grey parrot and Timneh parrot were classified as subspecies; the former as the nominate, the latter as P. e. timneh. However, in 2012 the taxa were concluded to be separate species by BirdLife International on the basis of genetic, morphological, plumage and vocal differences; the IOC World Bird List adopted the split in 2014.
