My husband and I got a young Amazon parakeet or parrot from a pet store in May. At first all was well, Perry the bird was happy, spent lots of time out of his cage. He learned a few whistles and said “hi”. He had quickly bonded with my husband and tolerated me. Then one day he stopped his happy noises, no whistles and no “hi”. He sat on his perch with an odd shiver, and developed a squawking or a peeping while bobbing his head. He wanted and even demanded constant pets to his little head. I read everything I could and my best guess was depression. In all my wisdom I brought home a parakeet as a companion for him. The parakeet has been named Boris by my grandson. So Boris and Perry now sit side by side all day, they preen each other and themselves. They eat, sleep and preen. I hope I haven’t compounded the problems. I hope to get both birds to where they play a little bit and continue to be friends. Any advice is welcome, I just want them to be happy
