-> Is the office manager the person he's living with now?  Must have
-> been in love.
No, they moved off to Idaho and the YC went APE!  The little girl I gave
him to had never seen a parrot up close and personal until they came to
look at pups and she saw the YC. Ten seconds later they were MUTUALLY in
love.  Turns out they didn'e need a puppy, they needed a screechy
amazon!
-> knew it she had assumed "the position" on her swing and began
-> masterbating and clucking and pinning.  That bird needs a mate.
I believe you're RIGHT!   The YC made some of the strangest
gurgling noises you ever heard when he got in that mode.  He'd hang
upside down from one foot, "grasping" with his free foot toward anything
that moved, making ALL sorts of strange rackets.
-> hard to keep out of everything.  He reminds me of a monkey.  I do
-> wish he'd concentrate on talking like a good grey and forget the
-> exploration.
The AG that 'boards' at my vets office does both.  Your's probably will
too eventually.  Those things are SMART!  (Prolly AWARE too!)
->   I know the syndrome well.  Not only do they have favorite
-> people to persecute, but they also change their allegiances.  It's a
-> real drag to be the beloved and then become the persecuted.  :(
RIGHT!  My field supervisor had been one of the YC's closest friends,
then suddenly he was a mortal enemy. NO ONE could understand it!  I just
know now that Amazons don't do well in an office environment.... Sigh.
-> Probably, I'm just beginning to understand adult parrot frustration.
-> Mine are obviously at that stage now, and they seem to think it's
Get Zigs a mate!  It could be worse!  (I'd take any extra offspring off
your hands....)
