Hello, All members & friends of the forum. I am from India. I just bought a African Grey Congo yesterday from a reputed pet shop of my City after searching a lot on internet. The shop have 2 african greys with them & i choose one of them which came right in front of me just after i stand beside the cage & make some low noise. The shop keeper told me that its not more than 1 to 1 year 4 months old & he told me that it seems like a male but he cannot say it 100% sure until Dna sexed. I named him Captain.He Always wanted to be in my shoulder outside the cage from today & let me pet him his entire body & head & beak also. Still now he never bit my mom ,dad & me & is making some sorts of noises today when we are asking him something or he needs me.He is very much friendly still now. The question is that he have a leg band which is written in it -- W 03 K 42. What does that mean? I am attaching some pics of my bird can u please tell me the approx age of the bird? & what u think of its gender?
