Hi I have recently been given a 9 year old orange winged amazon. The woman I received him from hand fed jade and has been the only owner. Due to recent health problems she had to give him up. Before she gave jade to us we went to her house on occasion and were able to handle him he would step up for my wife and I and was fairly pleasant while we were there. We brought jade home two days ago and I wish I had done more reading on the forums my wife and I have both been bitten a few times. He will interact with us when you sit and talk too him he will talk, whistle etc he will also climb on his cage but will not step up unless he glides too the floor then he will let you pick him up and put him back in his cage. I have read a lot of articles and I am just not sure what too do.also he is on pellets as well as seed. I have been trying fresh veggies I normally fill his bowl about a 1/3 of the way but he is pretty finicky. Any advice on easy meals to prepare. His health and well being are my biggest concern.
