Amazon behavior question

[shana7angels]

Hi, I am new to the forum and have a question regarding my orange winged amazon. She is 14 years old and a very sweet bird. She does have flight capabilities though she rarely flys. She has just this week taken an interest in our male Indian Ringneck whose area is in the dining room(because the parakeets are in there and he loves the parakeets), the amazon is in the living room. She will now fly into the dining room to hang out on the cages in the dining room to be near the indian ringneck. He's not sure what to think of the Amazon, approaches cautiously and then backs off. He is able to climb up the ropes to the curtain where the Amazon can't go. She isn't trying to hurt him but just hangs out there constantly preening herself and making little "lovey" sounding noises. (I think she has a crush on the Ringneck, though I'm not sure) She has become very territorial over the area though and doesn't want me near the Ringneck at all. For instance, he has always liked when I come up to the cage and he will hop close to me while I sing to him. Now when I do this the Amazon blocks his view and he has to sit further back while I seen while she looks at me with her pinning eyes saying "I don't think so lady, he's mine" lol. She hasn't bit, but should I be concerned about this behavior or not? At the end of the day she still lets us get her and put her away to her own space to sleep. It's funny the behavior of these birds lol. It's almost a love triangle...the ringneck loves the parakeet which does not have free range, and the amazon loves the ringneck lol. Anyone have anything like this happen before?
Thanks!

There is a very real potential for the Amazon to become bitey around the ringneck. If the amazon is displaying, or being attentive with the ringneck, I definitely wait until the little display is over before attempting to handle...

As long as the amazon is not overtly aggressive I wouldn't worry too much, just keep an eye on it.

She has decided your ring neck is now hers...not yours. My zon use to "take" things and make it his.. Including me.

Yeah I think if I pushed it, she would bite me, but I don't push. I try to avoid bites as much as possible lol. I just talk sweet and sometimes that settles her down then I walk away and she will go back to preening and chattering. I just think it's the oddest thing seeing her all of the sudden take to him like she has lol.

I have the opposite problem with my Red Lored.

She normally loves other zons, but for some reason she took an instant dislike to my sweet little lilac crowned... If I am holding one, you better not even think about picking up the red lored, because she will pinch you in anger...

Doesn't draw blood, but she does bite hard enough to make those triangular shaped bruises. It friggin' hurts!

Now, if I pick up my CAG, the Lilac Crowned amazon is coming... You don't get one without the other. Those two are buddy birds.
