>>2756243Update: Canyon turned out to be highly aggressive. Rock is a runt, he was clearly a runt from the beginning. Canyon attacked Rock a week ago and i had to release her in my backyard. Rock has been adjusting to being the sole bird in my house now, and he is much more calm. his feathers are fluffier and he's not anxious anymore.
it sucked hard. canyon was just chilling in the cage (open during the daytime, i let them explore), and rock was bouncing around and getting hungry. he tried getting into the cage to nibble, canyon screeched for like thirty seconds. never seen it before. then she dove out of the cage at rock. i was on the couch five feet away while this was happening. jumped from couch, swatted away canyon, canyon returned to the cage all proud. rock was hiding in some blankets. closed the cage, brought canyon outside, kicked her out.
saw her perched in my neighbors palo verde on saturday. i really thought she was gonna get eaten by a cat immediately. whatever, rock is great.
