Im not sure how to ask this.. It may be an odd question. I only ask because I'm a dog trainer by trade and know dogs can do this but not sure about birds. Im new to the bird world compared to most. I have one VERY well socialized and interactive bird who loves being with myself and the kids.. hangs out with us every chance he gets and loves to greet new people, being social etc. The bird I just adopted a bit ago is a 28 yo DYH amazon. He was a shop bird that was exposed to a lot of different faces but rarely ever touched. He just sits on his cage all day, doesn't play with toys at all, talks a bit when he's hungry and thats about it. He seems to just sit there and watch us more than anything. I will spend time going over to talk to him and try to interact but he just sits there and makes some noises but wont let me near him. So my possible odd question is, does anyone know if birds can watch and learn from each other? Will PJ pick up some of kiwi's habits eventually as he watches us interact and have fun and play with him? will just seeing how we are with our other bird help him come out of his shell at all and trust us a bit more?
