Which sex is better ?

Many people ask us which sex is better and do males or females get along with men or woman better ? John and I have had most of the parrots that we breed as pets one time or another. All of the species we breed will make great pets for either a man or a women and sex, in our opinion, has never been a factor in compatibility with their owners. As with a lot of the parrots, once the birds are in the home the birds may form an attachment to certain people in the house, but this is usually because a certain person is spending more time with the bird and forming a stronger bond with that person. We recommend that everyone in the family that is going to handle the bird do it in a consistent manner. There are some birds that are famliy group birds and there are other birds that after a time will develope a strong bond with just a few people.
