Derek is pure white, hand reared & was so easy to teach to talk, I only ever had him as company & let's me stroke his head & ruffle his feathers.
I bought Paddy later on, but he wasn't hand reared, he climbs on my finger but doesn't let me stroke him, he doesn't bite either & he has mimicked Derek's vocabulary since being with him. Thank you so much for your help in this, I will try & take the separator away & watch them closely, I will let you know how it goes, maybe just an hour as a time & build up to longer as time goes on.
I think Paddy is a bit bossy myself & because Derek doesn't retaliate back he knows he's got away with it.
