I know of two varieties of African Greys - "Congo" and "Timneh".  Congo
Greys are what is normally called an "African Grey" - they're larger
then the Timneh Greys, and have a bright red tail.  I have a Timneh Grey
(costs about 1/3 - 1/2 the price of a Congo Grey), and he talks just
fine (too well, sometimes).  And I know that Congo Greys can talk up a
storm, so I don't know if your question has an answer.
