myafricanqueen Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I was told by people that males are better talkers than females. My breeder said that they both talk just as well, and make just as good of a companion. Let me just say also that I didn't get Dalia JUST so I could have a bird that talks. As I know some never do. I just want some opinions from the family here.... thanks everyone, Cristen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 In my humble opinion there is no difference in the talking ability of males versus female greys, I believe they are both capable of being good talkers. Now of course I have a female and have never had a male but I would be surprised if there is any evidence to support such a claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myafricanqueen Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Thanks Judy. I am kinda insulted when people say that! I am defensive as my Dalia is trying to talk and I think she will be able to just as well as any other grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I have a female CAG 17 months old. She already says about 30 different phrases clearly and distinctly. She has been averaging one new phrase a week for months now. Now when you consider that I work all day and she is alone, I live alone and she has noboby but me to talk to I think that is pretty amazing. I would be surprised if a male would talk better than that under the same circumstances.<br><br>Post edited by: Char, at: 2009/05/13 19:05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it sounds like the sex does not matter. ;-) Which is what I advocate. Most Greys on average do not start talking until close to a year of age and sometimes a little later than that. I would not advise anyone to pick a specific gender based upon a "Hope" that it may speak sooner or better. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
