Odd pose
So we're at the end of the month long quarantine with the newly acquired Amazon. I wheeled his cage PARTWAY into the door of my other birds room so they can all see each other. The amazon, who is apparently about 20-30 yrs old (so I'm told) is leaning forward head down, sort of fanning his tail and making a constant goose honk. What is that? Is he saying hi to them, angry, wanting a love buddy, what?!?! I don't know Amazons. I'm so stressed out. I know I can never let them out when he's around, but I don't want him to never see another bird again. He's not too friendly, he bites and lunges and I know that he would make a snack out of my other birds. If they were to climb or fly onto his cage, he would rip their feet off, I know it. He lunges badly all the time. One moment I can pet him a little tentatively through the cage, the next he's trying to bite through the bars to rip my finger off, it's quite violent and frightening. I want to help this bird, I want him happy and not lonely. I certainly don't want him to end up in a basement again as a throwaway bird going from place to place. Man I don't know what to do.

Re: Odd pose
Ozzy does the same exact pose. His eyes sometime pin when he does this and Ive come to assume its a pose he makes when he is excited. However, this also is sometimes angry excitement as well, if thats makes sense, (I have a toy he wants and wont give it to him fast enough, I picked up the treats but it was just to move them not to give him one etc). There are a few of us on here with rescue Amazons that have been through this same process of learning what their movements mean and getting to know them and gain trust. I have come a long way with Ozzy but it has been six months and he is my only bird so gets all my attention. A month is NOTHING when it comes to gaining the trust of these super smart and super moody birds.
