Grey Parrots tend to be rather timid and nervous. Often they hesitate to talk when in the presence of strangers and untamed birds may even make a hissing sound if they are approached by someone they are not comfortable with. When they no longer feel endangered they generally return to their normal behavior.
Breeding grey parrots is possible but not simple. Though sometimes males will have darker wings, there is not a reliable or obvious external gender difference between males and females. However, surgical gender differentiation is possible to form breeding pairs. Generally, Grey Parrots do not begin nesting until they are about 4 years old. Sometimes birds that are normally tame can become hostile during breeding. If you are attempting to breed Grey Parrots leave them alone as much as you can and feed them a diverse diet to increase the chances of success. The incubation period for these birds is approximately 4 weeks and most young parrots are able to fly around 3 months of age. |
