Hi leann,

I have a baby mexican red head aka green cheek amazon. He is
at the breeder's right now he will be coming home this
saturday. He is the sweetest baby! I really liked the
bluefronts and was trying to decide between a bluefront and a
green cheek, i was basically advised to go with the green
cheek from what i was told the green cheeks and lilac crowns
tend to be more laid back and easier to train than some of
the other amazons. I was told the bluefronts are more testy
and stubborn. I'm sure any of the amazons would make a good
pet just with the bluefronts and yellow crowns you would have
to put in a little more work to keep them tame and friendly.
I personally love the green cheeks! It doesn't seem like too
many people have green cheeks so i just had to brag about my
baby! I also have a quaker parrot and a male eclectus. Here
are some pictures of my baby out at the aviary. He's a dna
sexed male (i was told to get a male since both of my other
birds are male) still trying to think of a name for him.
