A 2 year old Amazon isn't anywhere near sexual maturity.

And yes, mature zons will try and do "their" thing, I know my Hunter tries during breeding season, but I discourage the behavior by either putting her back in her cage for a while, or I start playing games with her that will distract her from "being in the mood for some lovin' ". ;)

I agree with Wendy. 2yrs old is a is a bit old to still have the dark eyes. How long have you had him? can you get a video?

No i can't. He's older than 6 months. Does he have a band, a closed ring band?

Presently have six Greenwing Macaw (17 yo), Red Fronted Macaw (12 yo), Red Lored Amazon (17 y.o.), Lilac Crowned Amazon (about 43 y.o.) and a Congo African Grey (11 y.o.)
Panama Amazon (1 Y.O.)
That isn't breeding behavior.

Unlike some birds, macaws for example, amazons aren't especially skilled at controlling their bite pressure if you get them wound up...

The "Amazon overload" thing is very real... they can get worked into a state, and then "play rough."

Remember: Amazons play with their toys by destroying them! You don't want to be the toy...
