Hello everyone! We would like to introduce our 'forever bird' - Adelita! :greenyellow:

Adelita is a 9 year old male - Double Yellowhead Amazon. Adelitaā€™s previous owner surrendered him to the aviary for consignment. We were originally looking for a baby bird but immediately realized that Adelita had a special bond with my wife. We purchased him on January 1, 2014.

We learned that Adelita was a male after DNA testing. His prior owner left Adelitaā€™s aviary vet information at the store so we were able to continue with the same amazing vet. Adelita was not a hand bird and when we got him his vocabulary consisted of ā€œWhatā€™s Upā€. He now says, ā€œHiā€, "Hello" and ā€œI love you Little Chodiā€. He also barks like a dog, does car alarms and giggles like Sponge Bob when he has a bath/shower.

ā€œLittle Chodiā€ travels with us between South and Central Florida and has a large cage in each home. He is learning to play with toys and also now allows us to pet him. He will ā€œperchā€ easily on our arms and will sit in our laps.
He has been an amazing addition to our family and we love him dearly.

Welcome! Beautiful DYH you have there. It's wonderful when a bird picks you like yours picked your wife. Sounds like he's a great addition to your family.

Hi thekarens - Thank you for the kind words. I agree with you on the bird picking us (my wife). I could never explain in it words but completely understood it when we saw it. He's a perfect match and we love him! :)

Hi henpecked - Thank you for the kind words! My wife and I have used the forum for the last 6 months in trying to better understand our new family addition. The forum has been great! We finally decided to take the plunge and share our happiness with others!

We use Dr. Don J. Harris at Avian Exotic Animal Medical Center in South Miami.

Happy 4th of July! :42:

Hey wendy, how about those yellow "pants" on Little Chodi ?? He sure is a good looking DYH. Are you sure he's only 10 ? Is he a California bird or from this area? My zon likes to travel in the truck with me, go places,do things. Your lucky to have a good AV that knows your bird.See you around on the forum. (Amazon Section)

Hi henpecked - according to the information at the aviary and the vet's medical chart he's 9 years old. His hatch date was April 9, 2005. We do not know where he was born. The aviary says that he was not originally bought from them and the medical chart makes no mention of the place of birth. :confused:

Little Chodi has become a natural on road trips - we feel blessed that he takes to it well. He goes everywhere with us!

We will definitely see you in the Amazon Section! :25_coolgu
