Hi. We recently brought the most amazing red lored amazon. We got him from people I dont think had him very long and were selling him because they needed money.
We have had him 3 weeks now. He has to date only said Hello (every morning when we wake him up he says hello) he will wolf whistle occasionally. He is a one person bird. He has attacked everyone but myself to date but lovingly puts his head forwards for me to scratch his neck. I let him out and he really enjoys his out time but he will not step up!!
I have tried for hours!!!!! He puts one foot out to feel my hand/ arm he uses his beak and sort of "licks" and gently paws his beak on my skin but he will not step up! Of course I want him to go at his pace ive tried treats and hours of patience at a time but no luck!
He isnt aggressive to me just doesnt do it!
His absoloute favourite trick is me feeding him he likes to pretend he wants it and drops it! this can go on for a while even using his feet to take food from me but then dropping it.
He also purrs... and growls! I want to enritch his life by him allowing me to handle him he could enjoy so much more! I am aching to get him in the shower!
Also his food... it's seed based which I read so much about... how to change it and what to? all they had in the pet shops is seed based food!
