My male irn is feeding my senegal parrot in some kind of ritual. he feeds him then sits up so straight and regal. Has anyone heard of this before?

Yep, its romantic. ;)

It can also be a buddy thing too ... though less commonly .

That is sure what it looks like. Ringo (my irn ) was feeding the Senegal thru the cage bars but when they are both out the Senegal chases Ringo and tries to bite him. Ringo sits on the Senegals cage so he can be close to him I guess!
I've had Ringo a little over 2 weeks, the pet shop I bought him from said he was about 2 years old. He is a little scared of me but will step up and has been saying "Hello" to me. I hand feed him peanuts, grapes and almonds in the shell. I talk to him everytime I'm around him. He's a Lutino with a rose color beak. We have him clipped so he will be more dependent on us.
This is a great forum and I read it every day!
