SEXING BIRDS

Question
HOW DO YOU TELL MALE FROM FEMALE, AFRICAN GREY BREED?  

Answer
It is pretty much impossible to tell male from female with African Greys unless you take them to the vet and have them DNA sexed!

Males are generally bigger, and some say they have a much more square head in comparison to females.

You'll know for sure if you have a female if your bird lays an egg! Otherwise, DNA sexing is the only way to know.
