Congo african grey parrot quit talking
I have a 14 year old Congo African Grey parrot that I was told was a male when he came to live with me when he was just a few months old. His name is Newman and can talk, comprehend and carry on conversations just like a human. He is a total equal member of our family. Shortly after he turned 14 he started laying eggs once every few months.of course at this point we realized that whomever had sexed Newman had made a mistake and he was a she. Being a she and laying eggs was not a problem to us except that even though we do not plan to mate her she has quit talking to us and has turned mean and actually attacks us now. Does anyone know if this will pass? We love her with all our hearts and this is just crushing us emotionally. Is there anything we can do? We still talk to her like we did in the past to no avail. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.
