I've never heard of visually sexing grays by the shape of the head. As far as I know, females will have a thin grey edge to the tail undercoverts while males have completely red ones...

There are several ways that people use to try to determine the sex of their Grey parrots in order to avoid the cost of a vet in testing the sex of their bird, But the truth is that the only way to be certain is to have them DNA sex tested.
