Was sold a BFA and now found he is a OWA.."Gus"
Today, I adopted my daughter's Amazon parrot...DNA proven male "Sam".
I recently adopted a BF Amazon. (I have had him 3 weeks)The previous owner said he is male and 10 years old. "Gus" is so sweet in so many ways. He will always step up on his stick, will sit on my shoulder. I can go into his cage with my habd to feed/water. He recenty started the sweetest kisses on my face..very gentle. Takes treats from my hand well...even my grandkids can give him treats (His new fav is cheez-its)He even takes treats from my lips very gently. He does the sexy whistle...and says another phrase that we dont understand. (He was also saying it to the previous owner but she also couldnt make out what he is saying) Prior to the gal I got him from he lived in a home that was dirty and disgusting. So dont know much more than that. So my dilema is...as gentle as he is, he absolutely will not step up on my finger. If I try, and I always go very slow and gentle with him, he squaks and tries to bite. I have been bit once, but not bad...broke the skin just a bit. Any ideas?
