Hello everyone.
Just looking if you someone can shed some light on this.
I have a three year old African grey parrot called Gizmo, and I've had him since he was 10 weeks old, no problems he's always been fine.
But lately in the last few months a friend of my dad's has been asking us to mind his budgie whilst he goes away so for the last few months we've had a budgie staying for upto 10 days at a time and he's stayed about three times now, he stays in gizmo's room at the other side of the room, and we always greet and feed gizmo etc before the budgie so gizmo doesn't get jealous.
But despite this, gizmo seems to get jealous whenever we have to feed or talk to the budgie and he watches us everytime we do this. He seems a little different lately, a little distant at times and he's not taking much note to his new toys or his monkey nuts which he used to love.
Just wanted your views on this whole situation, of course he's probably jealous and we've only ever had him and no other pets.
