Hey guys,

I have an Alex and now I got an IRN named Blu just yesterday. My Alex has been with me for 2 months now and he isn't scared of us at all, he's very comfortable with me especially and pretty bold and keeps flying to me and stuff. I'd kept the IRN's cage beside my Alex's and Alex jumped on it and was trying to attack him from outside so I left Alex inside his cage today. But the new baby IRN (perhaps 2 months old?) is super jittery and scared of us bringing our hands into his cage, I don't know why. He's just so flighted when we brought him out to transfer to another cage. So Alex has been sitting next to his cage today and this evening Alex acted really scared of me and was moving away from me and making the loud danger call when I tried to touch him - very unusual. So I'm wondering what to do with these two now! I've kept them separate and Alex has also been moved to a different room, so I'm not sure what's causing the 'fear' of me. He later did climb onto me but still doesn't seem to comfortable.

Not fear perhaps. Jealousy. Sounds like these 2 are not gonna be best buddies.

I'd put them in separate rooms if possible. Let them grow accustomed to one another's sounds. Maybe you can try again to introduce them in time.
