So I have Clara here. She is a cute, energetic African Grey. She responds very well to her name.

 

Turns out though, Clara ain't a she, she is actually a he.

 

Now I'm scouring the internet to look for naming databases where I can add Clara to the males list, so that I don't look like a complete tit.

Just a couple of drops of blood sent to Animal Genetics. Google them. Then email them and they'll send you a collection card. Have your vet do it next time you go. If you send it in, it'll cost $19.50. I've known vets to charge $40.00 for them to send it in. My vet cut his toenail a bit, it bled a tiny bit, she put the sample on the card for me, and I sent it in.

I have no idea whether Alfie is actually a male or female. He was sold to me as a male but I'm not sure if he was ever DNA tested or if they just guessed. I never bothered to find out for sure and stuck to calling him a he!

 

I didn't think there was actually a way to tell a grey's sex unless they were DNA tested? I didn't think there was a way to visually sex a Grey.
