Even last year before we moved, she is still the size of my head lol:
When Kiwi used to stay at my parents, my mom let him hang out with Lucy and Barney. Poor little Barney fluffed as big as he could to keep up with the BIG zons
(P.S. Barney has been bald longer than I've been alive. He's been tested for everything under the sun by numerous vets, but ultimately, it appears he simply has some kind of male pattern baldness. He's a healthy, in perfect feather everywhere else and happy mini green turkey buzzard. And his personality is an ambassador for all the smaller amazons, just the sweetest little bird you could meet)
One of the sweetest birds I ever fostered, believe it or not, was a wounded turkey vulture, who couldn't fly, and couldn't even perch very well.
That bird had a face that only a mother could love, but it didn't matter when he laid his head down sideways across my shoulder. Since he couldn't perch very well (broken feet) I used to tuck him under my arm, and carry him like an oversized football.
Beauty is in the interaction with them.
I have an 9 month old yellow crowned amazon (Sparky) and have had him a little over a month. My questions is, "At what age do Amazons reach their full size?
Thanks
