1 BFA- Kiwi. Hatch circa 98', forever home with us Dec. 08'
Found a large stuffed chameleon for my son and was having a little fun with it with Kiwi too. As a few of you might know, he is an absolutely fearless bird. Most birds I know would be terrified of a big, shiny green stuffed toy on their cage. Not my bird! He’ll stick his head right in its mouth (provided a sufficiently tasty treat is on the line:rolleyes:)

This really has to stop. This kind of secret, backroom, shall I say it; 'sweet, loving,' interactions with our Amazons is only going to increase the number of individuals that will come to believe that Amazons are Not Textbook Mass Killers!

Although, I must admit that even I become tired of the: "I have done extensive research regarding Amazons and prior to my getting one, cause they are pretty, can I train it not to bite? Please respond ASAP as I have just got one! Please, no haters!"

April, thank you for Kiwi and your "Rocking The Boat" pictures and videos, showing the Secret World of Amazon Love! Keep the Good Times Coming! :D

Julio wants to know what dragon tongue tastes like, chicken leg maybe?

Great pics! My Fidget, after a minute, would be determined to eat it first, before it ate him!

Wow! Fearless, indeed! Gotta love Kiwi! Loved the pics, and the video is priceless! I can never girt enough of Sir Kiwi!

And I know I say it every time I post about him, but that plumage!!! Beautiful!!!

I believe these pics belong in the POTM thread. Especially the first one!

You've translated his comment there as, "“I have no idea what that thing is but I’m not interested." But to me, that look seems more like: "Really? Just... REALLY??"
