Rey's major scientific contribution was on the study of cuckoos that he published in 1892. Here he noticed that each female cuckoo had distinctive patterning to their eggs and could be distinguished within their territories. Rey also guessed that a single female could lay only on alternate days. Rey

He then began a natural history store (1874-1890) in
Leipzig while also working at his factory. He founded the entomological association of Leipzig in 1875. He also was the founding chairperson for the ornithological association for Saxony and Thuringia in Halle in 1871. His major work was in oology

Rey was noted for his perseverance in the field for making observations, often made by sitting near a nest under difficult weather conditions. He died from pneumonia following exposure in the field. He was buried on
September 2, 1909 at the Leipzig South Cemetery.
