Are you asking if he is wild as he might have flown here from Brazil or if he was someone else’s pet who happened to have been a wild caught bird? As others have said, it is no longer legal to import wild caught parrots. Might still be people doing it, but not like they used to. If this bird is completely wild, he would be fearful and want nothing to do with you. But, that could also be the case if he was abused or had been through a trauma, which he has. You can’t really tell their origin, wild caught or domestic bred, from personality alone. Amazons are kind of cranky one person birds anyway, and they can take a while to warm up to you. I happen to have a wild caught Amazon, I know because he had a leg band with some numbers on it and I was able to do an internet search and see he was imported into Miami in the late 1980s. He was purchased by his first owner from a pet store. He would not be what you consider a sweet, cuddly bird…though he is slightly sweet and cuddly with me, most of the time. He just hates and wants to murder everyone else on the planet. You could say he is like this because of what happened to him as a chick, but I have known plenty of “mean” domestic bred parrots, so I don’t know.
I would definitely take him to a vet, he needs a wellness check, no matter what. Be prepared to spend some money. And yes, as everyone said, he should be scanned for a chip. People lose birds all the time, could be someone is desperately looking for him. If not and you decide to keep him, just give him time. Don’t expect miracles overnight. He has been through a lot, poor thing.
