Hey guys, my family has a wild-caught mealy Amazon. Now, before you jump to any conclusions, we do not support the industry. They were caught by government and sent to zoos (for free) to all parts of the world. We live on the other side of the continent and a contact zoo got quite a few of those...

Medium/Medium large rehome parrot. I’m in NJ. I have other pets, dogs, birds, and a hairless cat (rehomed). Would love one of my own. I’m home most of the time and if I’m not someone else is😊

Hello! My blue front is just over 4 years old and is experiencing a moult (I’m assuming!) and today I walked into his room, and found a feather on the floor with blood on it. Now first thing I did was panic. But there was no blood on my blue front and I couldn’t see where the feather came...

Hii, I have recently started with chop for my amazon due to lack of time and the posibility of freezing it. However, Ellie refuses to eat most of it. I chopped the veggies and fruits really small, even for her, but she still picks them. Above all, she loves the Quinoa -I made it with an...

I've been having issues with my 5-6-year-old Amazon taking his first bath. He's only been home a week, so I tried to give him time to warm up to his surroundings, but bathing has proven to be impossible. I did a ton of research on bathing parrots to see what would work. I tried misting him with...

Hey everyone! My name is Jesse, I'm 19, and as of May 5th of this year, I became a bird owner. His name is Bingo, he is between 5-6 and is a yellow-naped Amazon parrot. When I met Bingo, we were in New Jersey at a mom-and-pop shop called "Birds By Joe". I highly recommend them for supplies...

This isn't for a long time yet, I like to have all the information possible before getting a new bird. But, what would you say is the best parrot? Ive always wanted an African grey or cockatoo... but I just wanted some insights of what kind of behaviour problems etc people have with their...

Hello. I am new to the ways of forums in general, so apologies in advance if I have posted in an incorrect place, etc. I am considering rehoming an approximately 20 year old male White-fronted Amazon. I adopted him from the zoo I once worked at because they were having troubles placing him in a...

Hey all, I am looking into purchasing a baby zon in the next month or so but I have been bouncing between mainly a double yellow headed or a blue fronted with a little bit of thought on yellow napes. Before you all ask, I am very well versed in parrot care, including larger parrots. I raised a...

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting on these forums but I have been a long time reader. I am considering buying my first amazon and I have pretty much decided on a blue fronted amazon. I am now doing my research as far as where to purchase my baby. I would want a hand fed baby and I...

Hello Everyone, I am new here, and I have been impressed with the knowledge people share. The love of my life didn't turn out to be a man. It turned out to be my parrot Harry. I have had him 22 years. I saved him from this awful pet shop. I am 58 years old, disabled, and alone now. But I live...

So my boyfriends Mom has an Amazon Parrot named Teddy. We believe he was abused in his previous home as he hates all males and will go out of his way to bite. His favorite person is my boyfriend's Mom. However, he seems to tolerate me well enough. He takes fruits and veggies from my hand. Has...

I have wanted to own a parrot since I was a child and had experience with an absolutely charming scarlet macaw. I grew up with parakeets and cockatiels and always enjoyed birds. It only recently occurred to me that I can actually do this now as my company i started is starting to bring in...

Hi, I'm looking for a African Grey, Eclectus, Amazon or Quaker parrot. Prefer to rehome an older parrot. Must be located in Texas but not in the Houston area. Would be willing to drive to any other area to pickup. Please make initial contact here. Thanks Pam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3XYWFGD0Ig Sometimes I see my amazon "dancing". I've been told different things such as it means that he's 'excited' or 'wants attention', but can anyone confirm this? I notice he does this quite randomly. Thanks!:green::green:

Hi, I'm new to this site. I bought an Amazon parrot 4 years ago. He was supposedly 11 months old when I bought him but I'm not sure. He's my first Amazon so I was wondering whether someone could help me figure this out. most of these photos were taken between two years ago and now. The last...

Hi everyone:greenyellow:! I am a yellow headed amazon owner (bird is about 30 years old). The bird came to us about 5 years ago, unexpectedly. A man entered our store with a bird in the cage, expressing how he was going to have his bird put down. As an animal lover, I instantly said I will take...

Hi guys, I'm not technically a parrot owner...I've owned parakeets and finches in the past, but no large birds, and have no experience with them. However, I recently moved into a new house with several roommates. One of them is a bit of a "fashion" pet owner and gets cute or interesting animals...

Hi Guys!!! New here but I've been reading this forum for awhile. This is a long post but info is important. Thank you for your time and reading!!!! :) I have Double Yellow Headed Amazon and he's around 7 - 10 yrs old. From what I read on this forum, Amazons around this age tend to have...

Hi All, I'm here by referral of my daughter, Maple 128 who just signed up a few weeks ago. After a long decision-making process, we decided to get a parrot back in November, and had attempted to find a mature bird to rehome, or a rescue. Unfortunately we ran into the same issues others have...

I am adopting a 30 year old BFA. She comes with a cage on a stand that isn't very big. I'd like to get her a larger cage--not huge--but something that would be good around our 3 cats. My thinking is that I would need one that is on a stand and has seed guards so the cats could not reach it...

So my family has had this parrot for about 10 years and I'm ashamed to say she wasn't given the attention she deserved. She is well cared for and healthy though, she does suffer from minor allergy issues though. To get to the point, I've been meaning to tame my parrot and maybe get her to the...

So I had an idea to make a playgym for Tihan and get rid of the cage. I've cut a piece of grape tree and asked my dad to do something with it. Tihan hates my father and each time he sees him, he's making funny noises and bites the closes human. My parrot was mad like a dragon while my father...

We have had Odie since May. He is a 19 year old Yellow fronted amazon. He has been in at least 5 homes and the past 5 years was in a home where he was caged all the time. When we first got him he and I bonded instantly and he was wanting to be with me or on me all the time. He was very sweet...

Hi, I am new to the forum and have a question regarding my orange winged amazon. She is 14 years old and a very sweet bird. She does have flight capabilities though she rarely flys. She has just this week taken an interest in our male Indian Ringneck whose area is in the dining room(because...

Helloooooo! Our parrot, Yogi, is a blue fronted amazon (we think) :green:. We rescued him as a 12 year old (?) that was kept in a too small cage. We had to cut the padlock off the cage door as the key had been lost for a long time... He was scared to come out of the cage so we eventually had...

Hi all! Thank you first for reading this and hopefully giving excellent feedback. My best friend and I have just inherited her life long family Parrot, Stanley. He had been housed with their grandmother which neglected him, screamed at him, and threw cups of water on him, for over a 15 year...

Please Help, I've just signed up to this forum today after finding out my pet Amazon codi has got liver disease. We got him from a family friend last June or July and since then he has been predominantly on a seed diet as we were told that's what to feed him, as I learned more he's been...
