Cape Parrot....male or femal for 2nd bird

[fishbait]

I am on several lists for a Cape and am asking for a male but one breeder may have a female (just hatched) available, if it is a male it goes to 1st on her wait list. I have been told males generally make better talkers....which is not that important to me but what is important is how well he/she can accept and get along with my Sun Conure. I think my conure will have more issues than either sex of the new cape but thought i would ask other cape owners for their opinions and past experiences.

Thanks!

Can't believe no one has any opinions to share!

I don't think this bird is very common... so you may have to wait a while for an answer...

I personally always opt for males, purely to avoid the stress of egg binding, chronic egg laying etc. So for health reasons alone, that's my preference.
