Well, I think we’ve finally cracked the whole eating or not eating saga, Rocky has decided he is a Harrison’s birdie!!! 
He’s been tried on a variety, ZuPreem, Harrison’s, Animalzone, and for a while he appeared to like the Animalzone, but then after a few weeks he didn’t seem to be eating as much. So I decided to add some Harrison’s High Potency Fine with the Animalzone, and notice he was eating more of the Harrison’s on each feed. I now offer him the the Harrison’s, but because he shares a cage with my other Amazon, he has the option of eating Animalzone and ZuPreem if he wishes, as that’s what my other Amazon eats.
So far, he is eating better than I have ever seen, and on one occasion I had to top his bowl up with MORE FOOD!!!
Since his eating has improved he is not as noisy, which could also be down to his hormones settling too, but there’s definitely less noise, he’s still a noisy boy though!! 
Rocky loves his cage mate, he still hates me but adores my other Amazon, so I’m pleased regardless. He has such a great character and can be so funny, even when he’s trying to rip my face off!!!
He now has Java stands to play on, 3 to be exact, he struggles with larger branches as he needs to build his muscles, but on the smaller branches he’s fine, he just needs to learn to manoeuvre around the stands to get to food bowls. I’m sure in time he will figure it out
Overall, he is doing great, I’m very proud of him, he’s such a gorgeous boy, he’s forgiven for all his aggressiveness because he is such a stunner, and I think he knows it too!!!!!!
