Many people say that male Greys are better talkers, but, I have known many females with extensive vocabularies. They both go through intense hormonal seasons. But, females have the potential problems of egg laying and egg binding. Personalities depend on their individuality, guardians interactions, and home environment factors. It is not a simple cut and dry issue.

And I would say a female [Congo or timnah ] ?

When it comes to greys my breeder says that in general the females are usually easier to deal with. I think of course it depends on the bird. I have a female grey and I wouldn't trade her for the world! She is sweet, gentle, affectionate and she is starting to develop quite a good vocabulary! In fact my breeder has many, many breeds of birds and the best talker in their store/facility is a female grey. Go meet her and see how she is. I look forward to hearing about her!

I don't know much about CAGs, but some of the other species i do have an opinion. Generally no difference in speaking abilities but males seem to get along with other birds better. Hens can get "jealous" sometimes. Both can be cuddly.

The sweetest birds I've had have been female, but they've also been the most territorial. But I've never had an African grey.
