Will be re-united with Lucy at last after nearly a year of treatment.

I went to treatment first in Phoenix,AZ and then in Ocklawaha, FL for Schizoaffective Disorder. It's been nearly a year and I am healthy and stable and ready to see Lucy again but I found out some new things about her. The guy who sold her to me told me she was less than a year old. She was staying with the owner of a bird shelter and the veterinarian told her she's about 35, and has laid many eggs in her years. She still bites the heck out of anyone carrying her when someone walks in the door, she sees another bird, even a budgie, but apparently I've been told she sings now! I'm excited to see her again and bring her back home because she has not bonded with anybody at the shelter and has bitten the heck out of everyone at the shelter (she always loved me). The shelter owner can't even get her to bond with her because she can't bond in the presence of other birds. But I'm getting my Lucy back!! I don't care if she was once a bird used just for breeding and she is overly protective of her mate, I love my Lucy. And now that I'm healthy, it won't be Lucy having to cheer me up every day and make me feel better. Now I can cheer Lucy up. I pick her up from the shelter in one month.

Wishing you and Lucy a good and happy life together. Best wishes and great news.

Yay! Doing a happy dance for you both!

HUZZAH! What fantastic news. And congrats to you personally for getting yourself balanced out. I can't speak for Schizoaffective disorder personally, but I do know just how hard dealing with mental disorders can be, it's a living hell. Getting Lucy back is amazing, but getting yourself on track, that's really fantastic.

Welcome back, and congratulations! Wishing you and Lucy much love and continued health!! This will certainly be a wonderful reunion!!

Welcome back, so happy to hear you'll be reunited with Lucy! I'm glad everything is looking up for you, wishing you all the best.

Congrats! I hope the reunion is happy and smooth.

Congratulations! Glad to hear you can get your Lucy back!

I also wish you the same!

Please give yourself and Lucy lots of time to re-unite. Amazons can develop very strong Bonds and have excellent memory. They are also highly emotional creatures, so the lower your expectations the greater your joy. The re-union can be anywhere from a first moment Love Feast, to a halting slow advance, to a turn her back on you (you left me!).

So, please take the time to re-read the First Thread in the Amazon Forum: Amazon Body Language. This will refresh you on reading Lucy's Body Language that will be so important during and after those first few moments of your re-union!

So, she is older, so what! Any day with an Amazon is a Wonderful Day! Enjoy every day! And always remember that Amazon's Have More Fun!

Two Rivers is a Wonderful Area!

Again, Congratulations!

A Hollywood ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wishing a happy reunion to you both.
