    My Amazon Won't Bathe?

    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...

    What does this body language mean?

    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:
