Hello

[roximill]

Hello everyone!! My name's Roxanne. I have a Red Lored Amazon whose name is Malcolm. I got him 3 1/2 weeks ago from a serious neglect situation. He was malnourished, his beak and nails hadn't been touched in at least 4 years, and he was FULL of infection (yeast, bacteria). The cage he had been kept in had (I kid you not) at LEAST 2 inches of droppings in it. My avian vet told me if I hadn't rescued him, he probably would have only lived about 2 more weeks.
Malcolm is the first parrot I've ever had, (I usually do furry-critter rescues), so I'm reading and trying to absorb everything I can get my hands on about these guys. My husband and I fell for Malcolm instantly, and although Malcolm decided I was to be his favorite human, he has been getting better and better about being around and being handled by my husband.
I could just talk all day about Malcolm, but I don't want to bore you all.
Roxanne

WELCOME!!!​

Could never get bored hearing about good humans who rescue good birds from bad humans and horrible situations!

Another Amazon to add to our ranks!! Wonderful, our little flock is growing so quickly which is just amazing! Can't wait to see pics ... lots of pics ... and just so you know, and I am surprised that Peta didn't mention it in her post; but, we do have a fee for all of our advise/friendship and that is lots of pictures!

I can offer you your first bit of advice on getting over a "disfavored human" just let me know and I can give you a link!

Well come on Tex, why would Christy want you now, especially when she's got Hamlet and Mac. Be careful you may find yourself out on your ear.

Sorry forgot about the fee.

That is so great that you rescued your guy! It's so sad to hear about birds that get mistreated, but it's great that you took him in. I wish you lot's of luck and if you have any questions at all, just ask.

Welcome to Parrot Forums!​

Hi there, Welcome to the forum. Im Meghan, i have 4 birds, two budgies, and two cockatiels. I dont have much experiance really with larger type birds but i have researched them a lot. As you may of noticed this forum has got a good sense of humour. I look forward to hearing more about you, and you amazon. and yes Pictures would be good too. I think that was a wonderful thing did for that amazon by the way, as for anyone rescueing a bird.
