Mine is grumpy when he's in the cage, once he's out, he's a sweetheart I just got him 2 days ago, and I started to love him already. He is not used to taking treats from my hand yet. Only took a dried papaya once. My friend suggested me to give him walnuts.. I will get some after work today

I would suggest you start your own thread. X-Breeder birds (especially a 20 y/o one) are a WHOLE OTHER ANIMAL than hand-raised babies. The advice on how to work with your bird is going to be very different than how this op should work with hers

Yours is NOT tame, should not be considered "pet quality," and may not readily accept being handled. You've taken on quite a project.

My new friend, and orange winged Amazon named Gus is such a fun friend!!! Got him a little over a month ago...like my dog, he is so happy when I come home after work. He only screams until he gets his kisses from me...he is stick trained and is on my shoulder a lot...still working on the hand....he is 10 years old...great kisses!! doesn't talk as much as I like but working on it. Cant imagine my life without him!!! Actually looking for another to add to my pet family"}

Tequila my BFA was my first zon [and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Him ]. When my bird fever had started [ you see all my birds ]. Everything I read about zons turned me right off [I had no interest]. I don't know why when I read Tequilas ad on CL it interested me . I am so glad he came to live with me !! I would have missed out. Hes taught me how to read the rest of my birds too. He loves his head rubbed [could sit there all day ] He sings Opera and has quite the sense of humor .Hes the one I take out to soccer games and out to eat.He is harder than my female .But really I like how complex they are .Id say zons have almost a little bit of the qualities of all my other birds rolled into one. They get loud during hormonal time . Would I have a bunch of them [Yes I would]. I like the "Hot" Zons myself
