I have owned a blue fronted amazon for the last 3 months, female age 6yrs. She was previously owned by a family and hand tamed by the male in the family. I'm a bird lover, but she preferes my boyfriend to me. I have had a few nasty bites from her but have learned not to pull away. I can now stroke her, feed her and even let her out of the cage but she will only step up and only chats and sings when she hears my boyfriend. The odd time she would say hello to me, but she never gets as excited as when my boyfriend is near. She sings two different tunes and can say, hello, hello pretty birdy, hello dad and hello Claire, this must have been the previous owners wife's name as she wld always refere to me as Claire. How do I teach my bird new songs and new words, I sit with her every day and she is still wary of me touching her, if my boyfriend is around it's no prob but when he is not around I think she feels unhappy.
I really want to make. My bird happy
Any advice would really be appreciated
