Sexing an African Grey

Recommended Posts

People keep asking me how to tell the sex of an African Grey. Well I've had a 100% success rate just by looking at their faces, and have decided to stop sending off feathers for DNA testing. Although I've only tried 6 times.

 

Just to make sure, if you can show me a photo of your bird that you know the sex of by DNA, I'd love to see if I can guess correctly. I'd need to see the bird's face, preferably from the front, not looking sideways at you.

I believe it is eye shape that some say will tell you if a grey is male or female.

 

I can't do that. I go by head shape (males are larger and squarer), and beak size (males are larger).

 

Is there somewhere I can see loads of photos of greys of a known sex?

 

Nobby and Hucker why don't you introduce yourselves in the Welcome Room.

 

On my way.
