I have just bought a mate for my very tame and cuddly redlored Amazon. We found a two-year old very tame and talkative blue fronted. We've had our redlored for about 4 months, and he's very bonded to especially me. He's about 6 months old now. We thought he would be thrilled to have a mate, since I have to work full time, and he has to be alone a lot, but they don't get along at all. When they are in separate cages they seem to talk to each other a little, and they are definitly curious of eachother. But when I tried to have them out together, the blue fronted (called Andrea) chases my poor red lored, and when I put them together in the big cage, my redlored (called Papageno) keeps running after Andrea (it doesn't seem like he has any ill intends. He does not use any threat postures, and only bite to defend himself). Andrea, really use threat postures every time he comes around (tail fanned, wings slightly spread, and beak half open).
We really like our new parrot, she's cuddly and friendly, but we're starting to give up hope that they'll ever like each other.
What can we do to make them like each other? Is that even possible? How long should we wait until we admit defeat, and sell Andrea?

I've just now read that it's really hard to find a mate for a tame parrot, which has bonded with a human, is that true?
We would very much like for Papageno to have a partner of sorts, since he really doesn't take being left alone kindly..

Greetings
