Well I have some great news as of yesterday that I can't wait to share. I had recently been told of a Mealy Amazon that was dropped off at a pet store where I have a friend that works. This gorgeous Amazon was in a cage that was about 20" Long x 12" wide x 20" high. If that wasn't bad enough the cage had about 2 inches of poop covering it. This Amazon has been fed a diet of sunflower seeds and candy. The lady who had owned her dropped her off admited that men have flicked books at this Amazon. Needless to say now she is quite nervous around men. All that this woman has said about the Amazon was that she thought it was a Yellow Naped, it was approximately 29 years old and its name was Pepsi. Well she is actually a Mealy Amazon. She looked like she had never had her nails trimmed, some were cracked off and others were growing right around back into her feet. Her beak was in such a mess.
She has been brought to the vet to be checked out, nails trimmed, beak fixed, and wings clipped since she had flight and the pet store doesn't usually sell parrots unless their wings are clipped. She also had blood work done to make sure she is healthy.
Well I have seen her since she has returned from the Vet and she is finally able to climb around, which couldn't be done before with her nails the way they were.
I have decided to take on quite a rewarding challenge and bring Pepsi home to live with us. She is not hand trained at all but very friendly. I can not wait to show Pepsi what it is like to be loved and spoiled. I plan on making the rest of her life much more enjoyable then the first 29 years.
I will keep you all updated on Pepsi and have lots of pics very soon.
