I have owned a green cheek conure, but have fostered a cockatoo and a macaw. I will be adopting a blue fronted amazon named Abby. She is around 30 years old. She is hand shy, but she walks up on your arm with no problem. I live in a large 5 bedroom home with my cousin. We are trying to figure out where to put her, as she is not recommended around children. (She has a 7 and 11 year old.) Possibly in my office, because there's lots of sunlight and I would be able to spend time with her. (I am self employed.) She says a few words and hums and sings a little. But I don't care as much about how much she talks, just that she is happy and healthy. Any tips for a first time Amazon owner?
