Amazons will often select just one favorite person and can still be very territorial / cage aggressive. Typically when they are "acting out" you will notice that they pinwheel their pupils to rapidly dilate and contract them. Caution is indicated if you see this as it is often followed by a bite. However the vocalizing could also be anxiety and possible bonding. Hand fed chicks even as adults will frequently revert to baby behavior such as begging. Also sexually mature birds may show bonding/mating behavior with spring time and will direct this towards their favorite person.

He is about 15 years old. He is bonding with my husband really well (he doesn't care for me). At times he make the gurgaling noise and lifts his let up like is try to or want to get on my husbands hand. My husband has his hand on the cage. Parker (the bird) will put one foot on my husbands hand and then starts making this noise. Is this normal. Is he doing it because he is nervous? Can you help us. Thank you so much for your time.
