Hello
My name is Susan Moon and I have a very ongoing problem with my husbands amazon named Blue.
Not sure if I will ever be able to rehabilitate him to stop attacking me out of jealously.
My situation is We acquired Blue about 15 yrs ago and He was a great parrot. Loved us both. Could handle him and play with (him?). Then We got another amazon about 7yrs . This time a female named Angel. She bonded with me instantly and for a long time things were fine. about 3 months went by and we put them into the same cage together all was well. They bonded to each other
Then one day thought Blue wanted a kiss so leaned forward and (CRUNCH) got both lips. So knee jerk reaction i smacked him and he fell to the floor. (bad thing to do i know)
ever sense then he? (blue) has been attacking me. Bites me whenever he get close enough.
Ok so my question is will i ever be able to stop the behavior? Its been going on for a LONG time. Thinking I might have to give him up to someone else. But don't want to separate Angel for blue.
any help would be appropriated.
