Do you have a picture of the "house" you are talking about? Or can you describe it to me. My BFA only has a cage...not a house. I'm afraid I may be missing something.Hi all! Happy New Year!.My BFA Mack is a tool user!.When he loses one of his longer feathers,he keeps it in a corner of his house,and when his new feathers come in on his head where he can't reach,he retrieves the feather and uses it to dislodge the sheaths.I don't know if anyone else has experienced this,but I find it very entertaining! He gets this look on his face like OOOhhh,that feels SO good..
You know - some other way to spoil him.

He rarely has the door closed either. Amazons are one of those species that can be free all day and not get into (too much) trouble
The weird thing is he (dna)male is the anthisesis of amazons...he wants to be rubbed,petted,and generally played with..Wants me to rub his back,will stay on me as long as I will have him..Never bites,will on occasion growl,but that is it. Is he ananomaly? After reading all of these posts,I think he may be.And I may be the reciepient of one of the good ones!
. Amazons (especially the 'rougher by nature' boys) get a bad reputation because they get bad owners who don't understand them. I actually don't know of any amazons who were in a loving home from a young age or who were rescued and had someone put in the time/effort to gain their trust who are mean, vicious, evil birds. I know of plenty who get crappy owners and become angry (and of course it's the "birds fault", not the owners!). Kind of a one bad apple spoils the bunch thing... Many people on here have newly adopted their zons and have not earned trust yet, so you do see more on a forum like this about nippy, mean, aggressive males, but they don't stay that way for too long! You should feel proud you have EARNED that level of love and trust from Mack You have done things RIGHT with him and it shows (and don't you just love the rewards of being good to your bird?)
