Hello. Good morning from the Netherlands.
Chico is my one year old Amazon who's been with me for about a month now. We're getting along really well and we're having a great time together. Chico is very playful and I like that very much. He has lots of things he can play with. He also likes to "wrestle" with my hands. Chewing on it, loving it when I softly try to grab his legs in "revenge". I sometimes hold him with two hands and turn him on his back or move him in circles. He seems to love it. I have to calm him down often or he'll go over the top and bites me a bit too hard. But I see it as a good training to learn eachothers boundries.
For most of my life I've had dogs. And in their puppy stage they are very playful too. Same thing with the "wrestling" part. But I wonder, am I projecting my dog puppy past too much on Chico? Is it wise to play like that or would I be stimulating sexual feelings in him? I would like to hear what you think.
Well, so far. Thank you for reading, and maybe giving some advice.
Have a nice day, Mikey
