...again...as a lot of you folk know,the problem I have with Amy being obsessed with little BB :eek: Well the other night I decided to do a little experiment. I got the big X perch their Uncle David made for them and put them on it TOGETHER and and stayed there,inches away and watched. I have mentioned before that Amy shows zero aggression towards the little boy,he is just infatuated with him..I don't know why it bothers me so much :confused: So BB was on one side of the X and Amy on the other. Immediately Amy starts talking to him! HI..HELLO! How are you?? and Amazon mumbles,all the while bobbing his head and trying to regurg for BB. BB sat there,gave Amy wolf whistles and started making kiss-kiss noises lol. Amy was being very good and playful..playing with the toys hanging from the perch as BB nibble the other end. I offered Amy a piece of String cheese and as he held it in his foot he allowd Beebs to nibble the other end :eek: After about twenty minutes of them hanging out together, BB decided he wanted to be on me a flew to me. All during this time I was sitting right next to them watching intently,and Amy showed no aggression..I guess he just loves the little guy.
Amy did however,show aggression to ME ( I couldn't even try to skritch Amy without him rearing his head up and wanting to take a piece of flesh out of me!) I'm going to try this again tonight and get a vid of all this.

B&G Macaw, Galah, 5 cockatiels, 50 billion and a half budgies. We breed and do rescue. Too many to list each individual's name and age etc, but they are each individuals and loved dearly.
Awe how sweet.


When Fatty and Pistol were alive, they loved each other. Fatty would get SOO aggressive towards me, though. Watch out! Fatty was only a budgie so the chunks he took were smaller, but it still hurt!


That string cheese thing is too durn cute.

Jim, the biggest concern that I have with getting a second bird is how it would affect my relationship with Nike. I'm really happy with our relationship which outweighs my desire for a second bird...same with my dog. I'm saying this because I think you're like me with Amy and allowing more and more togetherness with BB might change that relationship with you.

I don't know Bill..having been with me nearly thirty years now I think Amy knows me well enough. When he is with me he is his typical amazon self. Its only when I'm with BB. I think Amy knows he's the only one who goes "outside...in the car.." ;) Maybe he thinks Beebs is his bro or something and wants me to leave him be lol.
