Introducing birds

[JRKRACING1]

We have a 4mth old Umbrella(Torrie) and a 6wk old yellow naped amazon(Murry). When we allow them to be around one another Torrie makes a hissing sound. How can we help them feel more comfortable w/ one another

I am looking for the same informations and have already asked for advice

One of the advice I got : You have to show the 1st parrot that he was here before the other one. Say him "Good morning" the first, feed him the first... Torrie must understand that Murry hasn't taken her first place otherwise she will be jealous and perhaps (I'd almost say for sure) be aggressive with your amazon.

Be carefull because of their size difference too but I bet your amazon will be more cranky than your Torrie (What ever, I do know devils-cockatoos ) and won't be afraid of the white girl.

Okay first off I would be very carefull doing this You have to watch these two like a hawk . Dont take your eyes off of them not for a second . that amazon is hissing because this bird is new to him and he is not afraid more so warning this other bird to stay away from him . also you must never allow these two to be alone in the same room without supervision all hell could break loose . I would be advising against this kind of interaction so soon . Please be carefull . This I fear is courting trouble . I hope not but you just never know. good luck .

Ok, it is the Cockatoo that is hissing. Not the Amazon
