amazon

Hello! I have recently come across an Amazon parrot in need of a home! She is still quite young and is wild caught and was raised with nestum here in Mexico. She has quite a sad story, but the owner has finally decided to give her away to a new family, I'm the one chosen to get her. The problem...

Hello everyone, Willy and I are new here. I just adopted him yesterday, and I believe he is a Yellow-Headed Amazon. At approximately 59 years old, Willy has had quite a journey. His former owners (who had him for 51 years) couldn't care for him after the husband passed away in 2017, and just...

I ended up saving an Amazon parrot from someone who bought one and didn’t have any patience and only wanted a parrot that talks. He’s seems young, but he’s always making this chirping sound and Im wondering if he makes it when happy. He does it a lot when I let him out of his cage to explore

I’ve posted a video in the Amazon parrots sections and on this thread. I need help understanding why it makes that sound repeatedly. We got the parrot three days ago and got a simple check by the vet before buying. The Amazon came with mask tape on the wings as well, which we have not taken off...

Can someone tell me why my 6 month old Amazon keeps making this sound? It’s repetitive in the evening and afternoons.

This is our new boy Beto.. he’s about 40 yrs old and super sweet. Still getting used to us and a new home and new cage. And we are new parrot owners. Lots to learn.

Chico playing in his playtree. Killing that bell!

Hello. Good morning from the Netherlands. Chico is my one year old Amazon who's been with me for about a month now. We're getting along really well and we're having a great time together. Chico is very playful and I like that very much. He has lots of things he can play with. He also likes to...

Chico has been with me for about a month now and I'm still looking for that, one treat to rule them all. Which I can then use to reward him with. And ... because it's just fun watching him eat ;-)

You need help with doing those dishes???

Hi everyone, I’m sure some of you have seen posts I’ve made about many parrot species as im researching all my options! I’ve come to the forums today to get some opinions about my compatibility with a couple species These are: African greys (timneh mostly) Eclectus Amazons Hahns macaws Meyers...

this all came up as i was searching for adoptable birds on a site like craigslist and came across many birds who i would, given the opportunity drop everything to go and get them out of their current situation. now bear with me lol hypothetically (im a big hypotheticals person lol) if the...

Hi, my names katy and I’ve been thinking about getting a bird but I need some help on which one to get? I’ve already done a couple years of research and am well aware that birds aren’t as what is seen online though they do have their moments. I know they bite and get hormonal and that you need...

Rehoming Tame and Trained Blue Fronted Amazon because I need to size down. Believed to be a female of roughly 2-3 years. As far as Amazons go, she is on the quiet side, and not very aggressive. Steps up, turns around, and raises her foot on command. Says "hello," "hi," and occasionally calls...

Hi! I am getting my first Amazon but she won’t be ready for about 7 weeks or so still. I was told I should get my Amazon in the same sex as my galah because they are different species, is there a reason for this? Is it even true? Just want to do right by my birds. also what is the best size...

Just became a new member! Excited to find so many bird lovers in one place. I need to sell my beautiful corner cage --- moving to a smaller house and need to rehome THE CAGE. Keeping the bird. :) Corner bird cage, 31.75" x 31.75" square cage (measured without seed guard) with front corner...

***A BIRD NET! Don't know why this has never occurred to me before! Any thoughts or advice on these?*** I've posted on here previously about my adopted rescue Amazon Hamish. He's 28 years old (I've been told but no ring to confirm this) and he's a very 'difficult' bird. 'Difficult' in this case...

26 Year old Male Yellow Nape Amazon

This is Bomber a male 26 yr old YNA. I hate to admit this, but he is my favorite, we always say "don't tell the others". I know from his previous owner that he was a hand fed/hand raised as a baby. He's been with me over 20 years.

Hi, Hopefully I posted this right! Long story short, I potentially might be adopting a male amazon. He's been trying to find a home for a very long time, and no luck. I feel like I would be a good fit for him and he badly needs a home. This would all be done as safely as possible with covid...

So, I have had to put my green amazon parrot in a bird boarding facility for the first time since I've had her (12 years). She was there for just under 3 weeks and they put her cage open in a larger cage, in between a macaws cage and a couple of cockatoos. They were not in the same cage but were...

Charile is a red Lored Amazon

Ok so I’m a first time bird owner of a 40 year old rescued YNA. He was a three year resident at the rescue I volunteer for and sadly everyone was afraid of him. After a few months we began an unlikely friendship and eventually I was the only one who could work with him. I took him home about...

:greenyellow: Hi my name is Alicia, I’m a first time bird owner but have been a volunteer at an exotic bird rescue for about a year now. I originally wanted a macaw but have fallen in love with a big Yellow naped Amazon named Alec who was born in 1980. He was at the rescue for three years and...

Hi All I have been interested in parrots for some years now and I think I would like to dive in an purchase one of the amazon species but am at a loss as to where I can find a good breeder to purchase from. I would be happy to travel over seas to find a good breeder or is it possible to find...

Hi Everyone :-) I really need some guidance. I have 2 GCC's and 2 Budgies that I've had for a few years, so little experience. I would like to move up to a larger parrot that prefers me. I found an Amazon locally with some issues. Age unknown, swears like a sailor, plucks feathers, prefers...

Hello all! This is my first time posting, and wanted some advice for my white-fronted Amazon. Her name is Captain America, and we adopted her about a year and a half ago. She's basically our baby, and we love her to bits and pieces, and she loves us! (From what we can tell.) Our main issue is...

Hi everyone! Again, thank you for taking the time to help me in this journey. We are about a month and a half into developing a bond with our YN Amazon, Soda. I'm trying to get some feedback on getting Soda to go into his cage at night. Currently, we are moving his cage from the room he...

Hello! I'm new here so just wanted to start by saying THANK YOU to anyone willing to help. I'm 30 days into my relationship with Soda who is a Yellow Naped Amazon and things are going downhill quickly. Just a little background .. fell in love in a pet store (I know, I'm sorry for this but I...

I have an overweight (~565g, should be ~525g) and bored ~30 year old female YNA. I have read through the stickied Amazon posts, and I can't figure out how to fix boredom without weight gain. The vet says I can no longer cut food and need to get my bird to be active. The active behaviors I want...

:green2: I’m a relatively new parrot parent, and as such I’m constantly paranoid that my baby is sick or drying when even the smallest thing seems off. I have a 20 year old Panama Amazon, Evita, who I adopted last year from a rescue I volunteer with. I’ve had some concerns with her health...

Hello All I am new here. I am the founder/director of Environmental Nonprofit Planet Rehab. We do a lot of Rescue work and will be shortly moving to Panama (Bocas del Toro) to work with protecting Endangered Species. SOOO - yesterday I got a call about an injured parrot at a Retirement...

Hi all, new to the forums and amazons. A quick intro into my predicament... My husband and I own a bfa female, Chelsea. We've had her since she was 6-8months old, shes now about 2.5-3years. When we brought her home, she seemed to like men and women equally. As shes gotten older, she prefers...

Was browsing google and found this so, here we are. I have 7 birds, all bratty as can be but still lovable little fluffbutts. From largest to smallest: Jimbo (Nine year old red lored amazon) Evo (1 year old orange winged amazon) Mango (1 year old sun conure) Pineapple (1 year old pineapple...

Hello Everyone, I have recently adopted a Red Lored Amazon who is in her 20's and she has always been on a seed diet so I am trying to convert her to Harrisons pellets and was wondering what the best way to convert her diet is. She hates anything new and has anger problems when I try and...

Hi everyone. I’ve owned cockatiels for about 5 years and someone my partner works with asked if I’d be able to take on his Dad’s parrot as he is very ill and in and out of hospital a lot and was unable to look after him anymore. I was apprehensive as I’d never owned a parrot before, only my...

Hello all! I am new to parrot forums so thank you for having me! I have a question regarding moving parrots. We are moving from Texas to Puerto Rico. We have a double yellow headed amazon, also we are trying to acquire a blue and gold macaw from a neighbor who must get rid of the parrot...

Hey guys, my family has a wild-caught mealy Amazon. Now, before you jump to any conclusions, we do not support the industry. They were caught by government and sent to zoos (for free) to all parts of the world. We live on the other side of the continent and a contact zoo got quite a few of those...
