Grey Personalities

[missylynn]

Now, I know this varies somewhat from bird to bird, but in general, are there major differences in personalities between male and female CAGs? Is one more affectionate than the other? More aggressive? More hormonal? Etc...

I there.....
I have had the privileged of being a guardian to 3 African Grey parrots in my life time.
Congo the male was a loving, affectionate and very playful little character. If ignored for a long period of time, he became extremely loud. (R.I.P.)
Gigi the female, lady of the house, loved to be cuddle, rubbed all over and lay tucked under our t-shirts at night. Always loved loads of attention. (R.I.P.)
Mishka, male (present bird) is such a loving and giving bird. Always wanting to talk and kiss everyone, entertaining us 24/7.

All my birds loved both male and females alike. All being so affectionate and loving, in a different kind of way.

Thanks goodness there was never any aggressiveness. No hormonal problems. All three loved to talk and be part of our family.

Perhaps I have been extremely lucky, but I believe it is the way you bring the bird up, treating him with love and respect, following a routine and always been there for them, basically just like a human child.
