Question about behavior

I have posted pictures of my two Amazons...Mr. Peeps and Handsome in this Amazon catagory so you all have seen them grow from 3 weeks till about one week ago...all is going well but I do have one question(well maybe more than one). Handsome has always been a bit of a social introvert while his buddy, Mr. Peeps, has always been a bit of a social extravert. Handsome behavior is worrisome for me as it doesn't seem to be getting any easier for him to come out of his shell, so to speak. He actually seems more fearful and timid than ever. I can't understand how that can be as I am the caretaker and protector and he still doesn't seem to want to warm up to me....while Mr. Peeps is busy investigating anything and everything he can get his beak on....Handsome is content with just sitting off to the side and observing. Is this a problem? Will he ever get to be like his buddy and be outgoing? or will he always be shy....?? Any suggestions to help him along would be useful and welcome. I have handled these two the same but for the past two weeks I have put more attention on Handsome as he seems to need a bit more attention...or should I just be leaving him alone?? Suggestions...comments...please....!!

I have a parrotlet named Mr. Peepers. I think it's the name. He loves everyone, and is a great little birdy. I think we're on to something...

As far as your issue, I don't know enough about Amazon behavior to say much, sorry.

As far as the behavior I think I have that figured out...just needed to seperate them and Handsome is much more outgoing and friendly.

Lorenzini...how did your Mr. Peepers get his name....?
Mine got his name because when he was just a little featherless guy he used to always peep up over the edge of the box he was in to see where you were...you would be in the other room and peek around the corner and there he would be with his litte head and just his eyes up on the edge of the box peeping, it was so cute as he had to stretch up as high as he could and they don't have much balance at that age and he would frequently fall over in his effort to see you.....they grow up so fast though....
