Hello from San Diego

[mrjayd]

Hello everyone, My name is JD and I am new to this forum but not that new to Greys, I have had a few AG's over the years but all males that all seemed to be a one person bird. "MY" bird. I am thinking of getting another one and was thinking about a female this time. Can anyone enlighten me on the female Congo's? Do they still get almost as large as the males as adults and is their temperament any different? Do they tend to be a one person bird also?

I am really intending on working with and training my new one when I get it as I have to admit I really didn't much with my others.

 

Thanks and hope to hear from some who have both.

I can't answer your question but just wanted to say hello! Good luck with your new grey!

Hello JD and welcome to our family.

 

I have an almost 4 year old female and she is bonded to me and pretty much a one person grey, she is somewhat friendly with my hubby but he can't handle her like I can. It has to do with the personality of the bird and somewhat of how they are socialized and mine didn't meet too many people to start off with.

 

I don't think it matters what sex they are as far as size, mine weighs around 425 grams but she is not the smallest grey nor the largest.

 

I only have one grey but we do have many members who have two, three and four or more and maybe some of them will come along and give you some advice.

All I can say is welcome! I'm not experienced enough to offer you more, I have a baby male... He has definately become a one-person bird, I tried to introduce him to others and get him to accept them, but to no avail. He'll sit on others, but only while he is trying to figure out how to climb over to me...

Hello and welcome JD. It seems the difference is in the individual bird, not whether male or female. There is so much that goes into the whole experience: how was the bird socialized by the breeder, how we interact with each other and with our birds including playing, talking, singing, just being with them There are many here who have had MUCH experience. I believe there are other threads on this subject as well.
