Male/Female - Difference?

Is there any difference between a male congo and a female congo as far as their attitudes go?

In my experience the males are more laid back, less bite-y and alas less cuddly than the more active mischievous females.
Don't take my observations as gospel though.. :)

I know a breeder who's been breeding parrots for over 20 years (including african greys).

He once told me that the males tend to have bigger heads than the females.

Ok, and that has what to do with attitude?? :)
I also don't find it vey accurate.. Males tend to be bigger overall, have bigger beaks and more flat head, but it is very difficult unless you have a couple of confirmed males and females to compare with.

Tend, but not absolute, my male is a tad smaller than most congos and a demanding little cuddlebug. :( my boyfriend has nicknamed him 'Princess' he has been DNA sexed.
