hi everyone, Merry Christmas! i just wanted to say how glad i am to have a bird with attitude! black just has so much sass, something i used to fear in birds. however, now i love it! it adds so much more fun and laughter to my life. it has also made me reconsider birds i once overlooked. i used to avoid birds with a reputation for being nippy, but now i realize how much more there is to them. sure black jack nips me now and then, but i don't mind, and it has taught me to be less afraid of bites. plus, he is so affectionate and playful, and he always keeps me on my toes. now i am considering amazons and other sassy birds for my future flock :). whats your experience with sassy birds? best wishes for a happy Holiday everyone!

Well if you do go with the Amazon then try to get a female one since they are more even tempered during hormonal seasons. Hahns are cool birds but also known to be nippy. Greencheeks come to mind, Red-bellied parrots, Caiques .......there really is not short list of nippy birds in the parrot kingdom, lol.

Pepsi and sprite, both are American male budgies
I used to fear some bites too, but I got over my fear because Pepsi and sprite like to playfully nip me while we play and attack my thumb as if it stole its nutriberrie or something. I know that Lots of birds can bite much much harder than a budgie but it got me to stop being afraid of the chance of a bird attacking me. I got too much sass in Pepsi. It's like they pulled him out of the housewives of new jersey . He wants a PERFECTLY round nutriberrie . Not the one with microscopic pieces ,missing. And if you want him to lay belly up on your hand make sure that they are clean. He hates hands with any types of marks on them.

LOLOL!!!! You just made me snort up tea! :D

My GCC Bella is all sass. :p She got pulled The Real Housewives too! :D She gets all up in your face if you forget to put bells on a toy that doesn't have bells. She won't play with a toy if it doesn't have a bell, so I always add them on. (Guess how she got her name!)
