 Talk to me. I have a 13 year old Greenwing that came here a couple of months 
ago. As near as we can tell the bird has lived its life in a room by its 
self, made to be quiet and not play. He (not sure, real small for a male but 
they said it was a male) just sits there... to the right of his cage door. 
Chews the hell out of the wood toys but will not play. Moody bird, sometimes 
lets you get him out of the cage, other times he moves to the edge of the 
pirch and backs away. We have managed to pet the top of his beak four or five 
times and then he shows some beak... We have been told over and over that 
another bird would help. We now have a 17 week old blue and gold who is a 
sweet, adorable bird. The Greenwing watches with interest as he plays both 
with us and toys. Major problem is if the blue and gold gets on the green 
wing's cage he will snap at him. (inside or out, we have alternated them 
inside the big cage where the greenwing lives in HOPE that he will see Rowdy 
play and start playing) Now I am worried that he will attack the blue and 
gold. I hate to say it but if we cannot get him to work and play well with 
others we may have to trade him for a more friendly bird. The kids (6 and 8) 
do understand to leave him alone (fear of missing fingers, he WILL snap) but 
they can play with the blue and gold. (who gets jealous if anyone plays with 
the greewing, the dogs, toys, etc. in front of him)
 Any suggestions ?? This poor guy seems to have been badly neglected. When we 
got him he was under weight and his color was dull. After a couple of weeks 
of fruits, veggies, and good parrot food he put on weight and the color came 
back beautifully. He will play peek-a-boo and holler if we leave the room but 
will not talk if we are in there. He has said "hello" a couple of times when 
he was in the room by his self.
 Sorry to ramble but I have a beautiful bird who is irregularly anti-social.
