People often want to know if their parrot is male or female, but it’s not easy to tell the difference just by looking at them.
In this story, I’ll explain how to clearly differentiate between male and female African Greys.
African Grey Parrots are monomorphic, which means males and females look very similar and are hard to tell apart just by observing them.
In terms of size, male African Greys generally grow larger than their female counterparts.
Males usually have a smaller, flatter head and a shorter neck, while females exhibit a longer neck and a larger, more rounded head, noticeable upon closer inspection.
Males boast fully red tail feathers, while females have a mix of red and silver hues in their tail feathers, giving them a slightly different appearance.
