So i have an old yellow napped amazon he is 37 years old and the family he came from over the last few years gave him less and less attention until now he is a very violent angry bird, we acquired him about 4 months ago and have not been able to do much but avoid him. I would like to train him to like people again and to not scream early in the morning so i can sleep, my husband however refuses to even let me attempt to train this bird as he thinks that it is to old to learn tricks or change his attitude. I need some advise on what i can do is this old bird trainable or do i just let him live out the rest of his days without any contact. I talk sweet to him and sometimes he will let me come close and talk to him but if i touch his cage at all he tries to attack me, i cant change his food or water while he is outside the cage for the same reason and when my Macaw (who is a lovey little sweetie to humans but hates other birds) tries to come to me or love on me Norman (the old amazon) tries to attack me so i feel like its breaking my bond with pixle (my macaw) even he has started being slightly more aggressive toward me i think largely in part because of Normans actions.
