    My Amazon Won't Bathe?

    I've been having issues with my 5-6-year-old Amazon taking his first bath. He's only been home a week, so I tried to give him time to warm up to his surroundings, but bathing has proven to be impossible. I did a ton of research on bathing parrots to see what would work.

His favorite person is my boyfriend's Mom. However, he seems to tolerate me well enough. He takes fruits and veggies from my hand. Has...

    What does this body language mean?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3XYWFGD0Ig Sometimes I see my amazon "dancing". I've been told different things such as it means that he's 'excited' or 'wants attention', but can anyone confirm this? I notice he does this quite randomly. Thanks!:green::green:
