What is an African Grey Macaw? There are two species of African Grey Parrots, one is commonly called the Congo (CAG, for short) the smaller is the Timneh (TAG, for short). They are of african origin.
Macaws, and there are many species, are S. American in origin.
So I'm not sure if you have African Grey parrots, or one of the macaws.

Every parrot has a duty: To reduce the world to toothpicks.

A macaw and a grey are two different birds, as far as the training goes clicker training and positive reinforement is the best way to train any bird. There are several books out on the market a good one to start with is called"Getting started clicker training for birds" by Melinda Johnson. I found my copy from Amazon.com for around 10 bucks.
Good luck, Karen
