Male Or Female CAG?

It is difficult to say because Congo African Greys can vary in size regardless of the sex and they have different personalities regardless of the sex as well.

There are some pointers which you might be able to use, but bear in mind these are only pointers, the only way to tell for sure is with a DNA test or surgical sexing.

The males tend to have broader, squarer heads with bigger beaks. The females have rounder heads. Depending on how old they are, the tail feathers might give a clue. The shorter red feathers over and under the tail are edged with very pale grey in females, but are solid red in males. You won't be able to use this on young birds though as their tails are often edged with dark grey or black regardless of the sex.

Greys are usually nervous in a new environment and with new people so it will take time. Just take things slowly, don't make any sudden movements, talk to them as much as possible and try to offer them food by hand. You can't really rush it.
