- Amazon double yellow headed
I have a pair of double yellow head Amazons Juanito and Carmen. They were going in and out of the nest, I didn't want to disturb them, so I never opened the door to check on them, however, I could hear them moving. They were very well-fed and healthy. Yesterday morning, I didn't hear any movement and I found the male (Juanito) dead inside the nest. They chewed up the steps inside the wooden nest covered with metal mesh to climb their way out, so I assume he possibly starved to death. However, she (Carmen) was in and out, which led me to believe that she was feeding him, which is why he didn't come out. They didn't make any noise like they were trying to get out at any time. He was about 30 years old. The only difference I noticed in him the last 3 weeks, was that when he slept at night he would just fall on his back while perching, up to 3 times in just 1 night. Other than that, he was strong and happy.
What should I do with her? Should I bring another male to give her company? They were paired when I bought them a year and a half ago and they took great care of each other. She is fine, she eats and sleeps well, I'm giving more attention to her, and I don't know if it is too soon to bring another male or not. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
