I think Lucy, our amazon, longs for a human/bird relationship like the one we have with our tiel. Our tiel hangs out with us a lot. Watches movies, walks around, rides on shoulder etc. Over the past week and a half Lucy's attitude and interest level has changed. In fact, she almost seems jealous of our tiel.
We've tried taking her out and having her spend time with us but then she retreats to her cage or gets grumpy. My husband tried giving her treats but she just lunged at him. Today she was especially cranky so she just sulked all day long in her cage or on top of her cage.
She also almost got our tiel. The tiel has been practicing flying and thought it would be awesome to fly to Lucy. Lucy didn't think so and almost got her. The tiel redirected mid-flight.
How do we help Lucy feel more loved?
I would love to spend more one on one time with Lucy but as much as she shows interest, she's still hesitant to hang out.
How should I handle this?
