Question
Hi
First of all i like to thank u ppl for solving our problems.

I have decided to own a CONGO AFRICAN GREY PARROT. The pet shop in my area has a pair of Congo Greys who are of 6 months of age.I know that there is no gurantee of any parrot that it will talk or not. But still I want to know ur openion WHAT WILL YOU PREFFER FOR ME TO HAVE, A MALE OR A FEMALE CONGO AFRICAN GREY? generally males are better talkers or females? or sex doesn't matter when talking about their talking ability?
Please note it that I have a male ALEXANDRINE PARAKEET of 6 months and is talking very well.
I M NOT OWNING AFRICAN GREY ONLY BCOZ OF ITS TALKING ABILITY BUT BCOZ I SIMPLY LOVE PARROTS AND SPECIALLY GREYS, but it will b a bonus for me if it talks. Thanks

Hope to find ur reply soon.
                                     Thank u soooooo very much for listening to me.May all the blessings of God on u.  BYE

Answer
Hello Kami.
While both are certainly beautiful animals, it really doesn't matter if it is a male or a female for the talking abilities.  Both sexes have the ability to talk pretty well.
Just remember not to let your parakeet near the African Grey, as the African grey will kill the parakeet.

I have an Amazon Parrot who is a prolific talker, and it really gets funny in my house.

Good luck and God Bless you on this venture.
