Hello,
I got an orange wing amazon a few months ago. He was in a house where he was not given a lot of attention. Before I took him home i made sure that he would come to me and "liked" me. He came to me when i asked, and sat on my hand the whole drive home talking to me. Now every time I try to go near him he screams and starts shaking. When he hears my husband he starts whistling and talking. I am guessing it is a he (that is what I was told) and he is about 14 years old. Any advise, I am the one that feeds him, cleans his cage, everything. He wont take treats or eat any fruits or veggies. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I use to have amazons and I have never had a situation like this. I really don't want to give up on him but I don't want him to be scared either and that is how I think he is sometimes. I also have him sit in the room with me while watching tv, talking to him.
