Will an Amazon parrot intentionally hurt or kill a smaller bird?
I have a female Amazon and a male parakeet (in separate cages, of course). The keet really seems to like the amazon and always wants to be around her when he’s out of his cage. He’ll fly onto the amazon’s cage, or sit next to her if they’re both on the bird play gym at the same time. The Amazon, though, will open her beak and lean toward the keet, which is when I step in to separate the two. It seems the keet looks at the bigger Amazon like a buddy, but the amazon views the keet as a potential snack. The Amazon doesn’t growl at the smaller bird and for the most part will move away from the little guy when he walks over to her on the gym. He doesn’t seem to understand she’s a lot bigger and her beak can do major damage. What are the chances the Amazon will finally accept the keet as a little friend?
Maybe never, so you should always supervise. Birds are very territorial. I wouldn’t dare leave my Cockatoo, loving as she is alone with my macaws,. One good bit and she’d be dead. I also had an amazon. He and my conure were best of friends, so it is possible. . But I wouldn’t dare leave them unsupervised, untill you’re sure. Birds are very territorilal. They need their own space, room, whatever. I wouldn’t dare let my lovebirds fly into the macaws cage, although they loved to, just to steal their newspapers and shred them for nesting material. Tiny as they are, the macaws still see them as invading their territory and will bite, not realizing they will kill them.. But it is possible they will become friends as my Amazon and conure were. But please supervise them first to make sure. And make sure they both get equal love and attention from you so there’s no jealousy. Parrots are like little kids in that respect. They are extremely jealous and possessive of their owner. As long as your Amazon feels that it’s number one, it should work out okay.
