We have a couple of birds:
1. Mutant Greencheeck (Pineapple) who's about 5 years old. Had previously been good friends with a Sun Conure for a couple of years until she sadly died. He is not really aggressive. But he does bite sometimes, but it's more of an annoying bite rather than "I'm going to hurt you" bite. He's personality is very active, almost hyper bird.
2. Senegal Parrot who's about 2/3 years old. Has never been friends with another bird (that I know of). He and my mutant don't get along. He is the aggressor in that case. He is not aggressive with humans, unless he is startled in which case it's like a switch flips on in his head and attacks immediately. But his personality is a very calm sweet bird.... Until he's startled lol.
We just got a double Yellow headed Amazon, he's 4 months old. Really sweet and docile. I wanted to try and have my GC befriend him. I kind of doubt it'll work with my Senegal. They currently all live in seperate cages alongside each other. My plan was for them to live as neighbors for 2 weeks, then slowly try and introduce my GC to the Amazon outside. Is there anything else I could try and do? Or maybe I'm doing it wrong? I just really want at least one of my birds to have another bird friend. And my GC has already been great friends with a Sun Conure who was alot bigger than he was, and they never fought once, and they lived in the same cage together for a number of years.
