Baron Von Bonkers

477 is a lot of grams! Is that the weight at the Vet's office or your home scale?

I know that RLA's can get big, but Wow!

It was 479 at the vets but he took a poop shortly after and today it was 477 after his morning poop

Well, welcome to the big Amazon Club!

Lol feels good

Goofy was about 670g if I recall correctly the last time we were at the vet with him. According to the vet that's "not obese, but he's not missing any meals".

Big amazons have more fun.

Today was a big day I brought bonkers into the bathroom when I was taking a shower and started playing some music and bonkers jumped right into the shower with me sitting on my forearm this is the first time I have seen him enjoy water so from now on I will bring goose into my morning shower and bonkers into my nightly one. It is so funny to see them taking a shower though with their wings stretched out and bonkers figured out that the bathroom made his voice sound great and started to sing all his songs(Amazon gibberish with an opera ending) he was a happy camper.

Amazon gibberish is so funny listen to. Sounds like any thing from robots talking underwater in a tin can to beautiful opera like singing of no particular melody.

The range of sounds that comes out of that birds mouth is crazy

Bet that made Bonkers pretty happy Can't think of a single zon who doesn't like showering with their humans. Your lucky yours sings, mine wolf whistles, goose honks and sometimes shouts "hello hello!". Our neighbors must think we do some "interesting" things in our shower

Have you not introduced kiwi to the neighbors yet that was the first thing I did to make sure that they didn't call the fire department when he did his fire Alarm call. Also I think you are the lucky one because a talking bird is fun for about a week until you curse him for bolting out the words hello and cracker when ever he demands his tribute.

Wait, I can guess what new words he learns ... saw a video of a AG who said "Ouch! F$^^%#%%$$! No bite!"

That would be a terrible thing for him to learn and say in public

LOL... you should have heard what Jonesy would say,especially if I was on the phone! Your !@#$%& me! Your !@#$%^& me! as LOUD and CLEAR as could be! I was talking to the cable tv guy one day,and The Cockatoo Man went into his shpeel. The louder I talked,the louder he got! At one point I yelled at him to shut up and apologized to the guy on the phone. He laughed,saying my "kid" had a "truckers mouth" I told him it wasn't my "kid", it was my Cockatoo! He hesitated for a second and said.." Now what..THAT was a bird???" I said yeah unfortunately. He cracked up! Said " That's amazing!! I never knew birds could talk so clearly lol."

Yeah..."amazing"!

I learned a valuable lesson yesterday night. I had a bowl of fruit salad And my mom called me into the living room and I put the bowl up high so bonkers couldn't get to it bonkers had his own bowl on his playtop so I figured he wouldn't get into mine. I was wrong. I came back to see bonkers trying to eat my fruit as fast as he could I walked in and he just gave a look that clearly meant that I was stupid for putting it in a high place because he can fly. Apperently sailboat and bonkers share the philosophy of it's never the amazons fault because there was no remorse in his eyes at all.

Obviously whatever you have is better, because you kept it for yourself.

Reminds me of a funny story with Goofy.

Goofy goes bananas for ice cream. He's not really allowed to have any, but every once in a blue moon I'll leave a tiny coating (like a drop's worth) on a spoon and hand him the spoon to lick it off. It's a favorite treat. So one day I scooped out a bowl of ice cream for myself and grabbed two spoons. I dabbed a tad bit on a spoon and handed the spoon to Goofy. Once he had it firmly in his foot and beak, I walked over to the country to grab my bowl and then walked past his cage, intending to sit down. Goofy took one look at the GIANT (to him) amount of ice cream in the bowl and dropped the spoon and hurled himself in my direction. I couldn't stop laughing for at least 5 minutes.

Here's the big Baron during trick training this afternoon

 

[CDavis]

Another big step this morning. I was lying down on my bed watching Netflix after I fed bonkers and all of a sudden a big green bird lands on my chest and flops on his back and starts to beak wrestle me. I'm pretty sure this is a big sign of trust and I am ecstatic that he is starting to really play with me

 

[CDavis]

He is really starting to warm up to me he will let me do pretty much everything with him. Quick question though he does absolutely hates my mom what can I do to make him at least tolerate her

He is aware of the relationship between Mother and Son! The best and fastest way to get to at least tolerate is to have your Mother provide and be the only one that provides that something that he truly Loves! Consider at least several items and with a little time, toleration will occur!

That's a way better plan than rehoming my mother
