I wish you could see how goofy Kiwi is...

When Sarah gets back we'll have to video some of this...

She completely destroyed all her wood toys, so I bought her a big new toy to play with when I was out at the flea market today.

Didn't have to tell her twice.

For anyone who thinks it's not possible to bite pressure train an amazon, or that you can't play rough with them without getting bloodied...

We played tug of war this afternoon - NOSE TO BEAK...

WITH MY NOSE!!!!

I am not making this up. Ask Stephen if you don't believe me....

I would love to see a video of that lol

Kiwi sounds like a fun bird! I'd love to see a video of her.

Hee hee rather your nose than mine but I too would love to see a video of the beak versus the nose
Enjoy the new toy Kiwi

You have GOT to record this, Mark! I absolutely LOVE the hands-on Amazons. Never a dull moment! And SO many laughs, too. :heart:

Hoping to see a video soon!

When Sarah gets home. I really can't record it and play with her at the same time... but she's a goofball.

Maggie plays the exact same way. It's a sanity saver.

Hahahahahaha! I'm definitely looking forward to that video, Mark! Sounds hilarious.

So still no Hyde to Kiwi's Jekyll, eh? That bird was a complete sweetheart since day one.

Mark, I'm so glad Kiwi and the rest of your flock are giving you good reasons to smile today and every day!

Looking forward to the nose to beak videos! That's a level of trust to be proud of, especially with a Zon, from what I hear.

The "Hyde" in my flock right now is Sally. It's amazon breeding season, and she is extremely jealous of the attention being paid to other amazons.

Kiwi is as sweet as they ever get... I honestly don't see that changing any time soon. She's been properly socialized and bite pressure trained. She is an amazing zon.

Oh yeah, and she's put on a fair amount of weight since she's been here with me. She's filled out her frame. (Not fat, solid.) She's very active, and very strong.

Sally only gets jealous of attention paid to other 'zons? She's unfazed by attention paid to everyone else?

Yep.

Just the zons.

The macaws and the CAG don't phase her. Paying attention to other zons right now pisses her off, big time...

Now keep in mind, at one point and time I had 8 zons including fosters!!! And she wasn't like that...

She is now!
