So there is a thing called the Honeymoon period, when a parrot is introduced into a new environment, where they are scoping things out. Mostly that is with adult parrots. Your 5 month old is really a baby still, and will be for maybe a 1 and a half , abouts. In that time its important that he learns good habits and behaviors. Interaction with as many people in the family and outside too is important so he is socialized well, and while he may end up with a favorite person, he does not exclude family. After that 1 year 1/2, its puberty. Some parrots have a horrible time with it ( its when a large majority of parrots are rehomed, as the darling baby becomes a biting, screamin mess of hormones) and some just shrug it off, and the parront hardly notices the change. It seems to me, with Amazons, the larger hot 3 seem to have a harder time of it. My own Salty a yellow shoulder 'zon, barely 320 grams, got grumpy for a year or so , that was it. He is back to his good natured self ( unless its molting time). After puberty, most parrots go thru a yearly mating season, and can get a taste of the old hormones , but thats a few years into your future. For now, enjoy the baby-hood, and work with him, daily.
