I cant believe the size difference.

I think my RLA are on the small side,
whenever I see the larger amazons, I am so amazed.


they look comparable to my B&G.

Your Amy looks a lot like my Sammy, who could be Samantha. Sam is about 628 gm. right now, but is very tall with really big feet. If I could use the software to post, I would put up a picture.

Thanks Jim, thats a great pic of the boys. Sorry I couldnt get up to see the family this year, for sure in 2018. Now that Salty is harness trained, the trip to your local pet shop will be less nerve wracking for me.
If i remember righly, the boys did the same thing when they met for the first time - did the kissy beak thing!

It's good to know that 2 Amazon's of such different sizes can get along.
Give me hope for Bingo and Luna eventually getting along.
They touched beaks through the bars of the cage.

Our turn to make the trip my friend! I have a harness that I got from Tom (Willow's Dad) some time ago. Tom said it was too small for Willow,and it was too large for Jonesy (the intended recipient)..It's been hanging on one of Amy's out-side-of-house multi-colored ropey perches for quite sometime now,and I'm going to see if it'll fit him.
How cool would it be going to the Big Apple one day with our boy's on our shoulders??:p

When it gets warm we should meet in central park or something! That would be wonderful.
