Some aspects of the trade in Grey parrot body parts might be entirely sustainable and potentially support conservation and be non-detrimental for animal welfare. Furthermore, while gathering of feathers from beneath roosts provides a small income for communities living near to roost sites, this practice is only sustainable if there are healthy Grey parrot populations in the wild (Ezenwa et al., 2019). Our study confirms that Grey parrots and their derivatives (heads and feathers) are being openly sold at the “Marché des Fétiches” in Togo for both medicinal and spiritual purposes (Figure 3). The vendors, all of which were from Benin, had in some cases relied on income from trade in wild animal derivatives for belief-based use for up to 30 years. According to the vendors, parrot heads were the most frequently traded Grey parrot body part over the last year (2017), the majority of which were sold for the medicinal purpose of helping to “improve memory”.
The Tinmeh African Grey is actually a different species from the Congo Grey. Establishing the impact of belief-based medicine on wildlife is no easy task (Williams and Whiting, 2016).
