Just as in the case with the two amazons, even those who appear to get along fine even with their size differences, can end up in a deadly fight that does not turn out as well as this one.  Is it really worth the risk?

What a very heartrending story! I have only one parrot, a 6 yr. old eclectus given to me 3 mos. ago. She was awhile getting to trust me and wasn't friendly - until she laid 4 eggs! She had been uprooted just at her 1st cycling and was hormonal. Now that we're friends she loves to play-fight with my hand. She grabs my knucles and pulls on them, and I put 2 fingers on the sides of her beak. It's very gentle play but is her favorite game. I hope that your birds are healed and are trusting again!
