Yeah for the hen and chicks! Cool story.
We have one that sits in the backyard overlooking my outside bird feeder. He will come around, leave for a few weeks until the birds become unwary again, then return to "visit."
Wow, I'm surprised you got the chick back! I love a story with a happy ending. My mom used to keep a broom by the back porch door for hawks and the occasional owl that would try to get a chick or a kitten. She wasn't always successful, but she gave it her best shot!
OK, I picked general because I know little about Amazons and I assume they are like greys, individual! I'll bet there are a lot of clingy Amazon's out there. That said, I have no experience and little contact with Amazon's!
Great going Gilbert indeed! I know what you mean about that forage toy. Every time I get a new one, I'm tempted to just toss it in the cage and let Timber show me how it works.
Sounds like a dunker to me! I really have no idea why they do what they do, but Timber does that with certain foods. Just certain ones mind you, but some things always get dunked then picked at.
Good for you! Glad the decision is over and also glad Tango took to it immediately. You just never know what to expect with them. Sometimes they have irrational (or so they seem to us) fears and other times they are unfazed by what we expect to scare them.
What a horrible thing to hear! Those poor birds. As Greywings said though, it would be heartbreaking to bring a baby home then lose them to disease. That has happened to some of our members and how tragic it is! Hang in there...
There is no telling what Sukie will come out with. One of the great things about being a grey parront is how they are always surprising you. I've had Timber for almost a year and once in awhile he will say or do something that I know came from his past, since he hasn't learned it at my house.
Wow, what a disappointment that your arrangements fell through! I'll let those with experience answer your question. As for me, I'd probably go with the "mothers." At least Pearl would be in familiar surroundings with people she knows anyway!
I suspect that once he sees his cage is the same and everyone is in their place he'll be fine! I sure don't envy you, I really dislike moving! Hope all goes smoothly.
