What gorgeous birds Wendy!! I love the zons, yours look so happy and healthy!

 

[Minimaker]

Oh man when they get on their backs like in some of the photos it gives me the worst urge to kiss that fluffy belly! I'd probably get bit though hehe. I'm just getting to the stage with my conure where I can give him little kisses without risking my lips.

Gorgeous Zons, Wendy! They look so healthy and happy and it's obvious they are very fond of each other!

 

[Kiwibird]

WOW! Sam sure is growing up and absolutely beautiful! What are you feeding him lol, he's almost iridescent with good health! (is it the cucumbers?) And I just love miss Hunter. Her zon 'attitude' shines through in photos. She's one of those "perpetually fluffy" zons who's always making pretty noises isn't she? Such a gorgeous girl! And it looks like both your green monsters get along really well

 

[Dinodeb]

Such a cute guy. ❤️

 

[JerseyWendy]

Thank you all SO very much!!! I'm pretty darn crazy about my green babies. They truly keep me on my toes, and make me laugh a LOT!

When Sam is in the 'flip on my back' mood, I attempted to smooch his belly once, and he ended up firmly attached to my lips. :54:

He eats anything and everything - no joke. He is my easiest guy to feed out of all of them. There is nothing he doesn't try.

And yes, Hunter is exactly like you describe, April! You read her like an open book.

Sam is SO beautiful and cute! I love the pictures of him! Do post more if you have. The difference between before and now is amazing!! I didn't know the difference could be that big and that the amount of yellow will get bigger the older he gets. :11: :11:

What I wonder though, is if that applies to Blue Front Amazons too, like the Xanthopteryxes. Do they get more yellow/blue in time, or are they basically the same throughout their lifes as they were when they molted for the first time? :20:

 

[Psittaciformes]

Oh my god he's beautiful!
Love the 3rd picture in the first post, and the 4th in the second, aaah!! Such a gorgeous little boy.

Thank you SO much!!

I honestly don't know if BF colors change much as they age. April may know (kiwibird), Kiwi's mom.

 

[95talongirl]

If i read the date correctly on the first post, your beautiful Sam and Mopar, my BFA are one day apart in age! Mopar's hatch date is April 25th, 2012.

Gotta love those April zons!

Sam is absolutely beautiful and adorable. I really enjoy seeing how the yellow color keeps coming in as he gets older.

Throwing a hissy fit

Good thing I had my phone handy this morning to take these pics. Sam threw a massive hissy fit when I presented him with a paper towel roll. :11: I wouldn't dare pick him up when he's like this - even Hunter kept a safe distance.

 

[Kiwibird]

That first picture lol. He is definitely not a very happy little guy. Good thing that was a cardboard tube and not a finger!

 

[thekarens]

The Amazon death dance! I'd keep my fingers far far away in the first pic.

 

[Allee]

Haha, that's quite the statement, I have a feeling Hunter seldom backs down!

That Sam is such a handsome fellow, even cuter when he's in a snit! Love the photos!

Bath times

@ 3 Sam STILL has a lot of coloring in to do, and he's turning out quite nicely. No complaints from me. AND he's a sweetheart (most of the time)




Both Hunter and Sam had a bath earlier, and I took some 'footage', LOL.

Love the photo and the bath videos! Love how Sam opens up those wings and gets into it! Hunter is such a talkative little cutie!

 

[KevH]

Wow Wendy ur zons are amazing who's the boss out of them are they both good to handle

 

[labell]

Oh Wendy they both look fantastic! I love Hunter's voice and Sam sure digs a bath! LOL

 

[JerseyWendy]

Wow Wendy ur zons are amazing who's the boss out of them are they both good to handle

Thank you! My Sam is definitely wanting to be the boss over everyone (including the macaws). :54: He has ZERO fear.

All of them love to be handled. My female nape would be content hanging out on my 24/7. Sam is more independent, he likes playing games more than anything else.

 

[Allee]

Thank you, Wendy! Fabulous videos, I have a big goofy grin watching Hunter and Sam enjoy their showers! I love their voices!
