Hello,
I am new to this forum but am seeking some assistance regarding my 3 parrots. Just recently i got a new bird from a friend who is moving away, his name is Henry and he is an Indian ring neck. He talks with words such as good boy, or hello Henry. We have all 3 birds out of their cages in the house for about 4-5 hours a day, or pretty much whenever were home.
Currently we have a female cockateil, she is really friendly towards all family members and friends, she flies around the house to you and sees what your doing. Our tiel maintains a nuetral relationship with our male Alexandrine called Raven, he is roughly a year old. Raven usually flies around the house, sometimes he flies into my room to see what im doing, other times he just chews stuff lol. He is a relatively quiet bird, he doesnt like being touched, however he steps up onto our hands and is calm around us. On the odd occasion he will attempt to bite.
We have had Henry for about 3 days and all birds seem to be getting along, however he prefers to follow our Alex around wherever he goes, for example when i take our Alex off his cage and take him for a walk Henry will fly and land right near Raven on my arm. After this our Alex kinda freaks out.
I guess they are quite friendly considering they have only just met, the only thing i have noticed is when food comes between them.
For example, i cut up 2 carrots and put it onto a tray and placed it near them, plenty to go around yet Henry chooses to follow and attempt to steal Ravens piece of carrot from him. Henry usually sits on top of Ravens cage, it is a much bigger cage and Raven is almost twice the size of Henry, not recently i noticed henry bowing his head then standing up tall and saying "Hello Henry" to Raven. This really puzzled me because he doesnt usually talk when im around, but then again he is a relatively new bird to the househould and i imagine he is still adjusting to his current new surroundings.
Would anyone have any advice or tips? I will get some photos up within the next few hours.
Kind Regards,
John
