Re: type of amazon
Posted by Debbie on 7/12/06

I adopted a yellow naped amazon that had been through many homes
and is kinda crazy but its understandable after hearing some of
the things they did to her in her home before she came
here.....that lady that gave her "problem child" to me because
she enough about the bird but just didnt have the time the bird
required. She hates women but she loves men. I guess she was put
in a washing machine and they turned it on plus who knows what
else so this is her last home no matter what!! I still send
pictures to the previous mom and let her know how she is doing.
About the same time I also adopted a double yellow head who was
43 now 46 from a lady in her 80's she just wasnt able to handle
him anymore. I would send her pictures of him online so she
could see he was doing good which made her feel good up until
her last days, she passed on but her daughters and I still keep
in touch.
I also bought a 5 year old blue front amazon but after a few
years here I had to sell him because he just wasnt happy here
with my other birds no matter what I did for him. He wanted the
YN female and was mean to me because I wouldnt let him have her.
That was hard on me but better for him and he is very happy
where he is now and I can ask how he is doing anytime as well.
ANYHOW my point I wanted to make to you is that these 3 are the
HOT head amazons during breeding times so dont be a dummy like
me and find out after you fall in love with them .......read up
on that "FUN" part of the amazons or ask on here how others
amazons might be during the breeding season. Not all birds act
the same I'm sure. I also have TAGS, CAGS, senegals, green
cheeks, Max pionus, diamond doves, English parakeets,
cockatiels, and a pair of POW and canaries too.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do and ask ask ask
questions.
