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...

Medium/Medium large rehome parrot. I’m in NJ. I have other pets, dogs, birds, and a hairless cat (rehomed). Would love one of my own. I’m home most of the time and if I’m not someone else is😊

Hello! My blue front is just over 4 years old and is experiencing a moult (I’m assuming!) and today I walked into his room, and found a feather on the floor with blood on it. Now first thing I did was panic. But there was no blood on my blue front and I couldn’t see where the feather came...

Hii, I have recently started with chop for my amazon due to lack of time and the posibility of freezing it. However, Ellie refuses to eat most of it. I chopped the veggies and fruits really small, even for her, but she still picks them. Above all, she loves the Quinoa -I made it with an...
