Hello there sterling how are you? I ve never seen a mealy before. Are they comparable in size and temperament to the OWAs?

I'm good, thank you for asking.
I've never been around an OWA so I can't say for sure, but I know Mealy's are one of the larger amazons. They have a reputation for being rather laid back and calm for their size, but this one was just really one-person bonded.

When I bought my Tiki from CL the people also had a 30year old Mealy and an orange wing . The Mealy looked about twice the size of the orange wing and both were older full grown birds.. .Alison

I ve never seen one in real life before they aren't popular as pets here I suppose that's why. Thank you very much for the size comparison. Hope all is well with you and your fids have a lovely day

Your welcome. It was the one and only time I have seen a Mealy live and the Ow was his best friend . they lived together in a huge cage and the women worked in a pet store down the street. Both birds went to work with her everyday and hung out so they were very well socialized. And all my fids feathered and furred are doing well thank you for asking....Alison

Awww that's such a lovely story. My OWA and YCA are best of friends as well. We re hopefully expecting a new arrival in two weeks. I will keep you all updated
