Hey everyone!
I am new to the forums, I have been browsing around them for the last couple days and decided to make an account and keep digging a little more since everyone seems so nice and helpful here.
I've been looking into what parrot to get for the last couple months and the African red belly has been standing out to me, I've been researching a lot about their pros/cons and so far they seem like they might fit pretty well what I am looking for. So my question is this:
Females seem to be easier to find from breeders and I think they are pretty too with the grey and green. What makes me hesitant to get a female though is whenever I see videos of red bellies or people talking about their experience with them, they are very nearly always males with the orange/red belly (as the name of the parrot would suggest haha) not the grey/green females being shown or talked about.
I'm curious if anyone knows if male and female red bellies are any different in personality/disposition, or if they are both the same aside from appearance. Males more active, females more laid back, one louder/quieter than the other, ect.
Does the sex have any impact on what they are like, making males a more desirable personality to have as a pet? Is it JUST for the looks that people go for males?
Thanks for reading
