A double yellow headed Amazon Keegan and a parakeet Milo
Hello everyone I am new to this blog so hang in there I'm figuring it out as I go along. I just brought home a double yellow headed Amazon on Sunday. His name is Keegan and he is 18. I'm have absolutely no experience with Amazons,I have been reading quite a bit about them online, learning body language and such. He has no interest in stepping up,his past owner had him for a year and he never got on her. He seems very interested in everything I do ,always watching me ,comes out when I sit at his cage. Yesterday he started coming out to sit on his door when I sit with him. He doesn't lunge to bite me anymore when I scratch his head,as long as I don't push it. He doesn't like my husband at all, and does quite a display of aggression.Apparently he was like that at his last house. I am taking it slow with him because he seems real shy if I overwhelm him with trying to touch him. I have two Timnehs as well and they are very interested in him, and I'm praying they will get along ok as long as my one Timneh Tilly doesn't think she's an invincible little pitbull and go climbing on his cage again. Keegan flipped out and bit her toe. She is fine,he barely got her ,but there were a lot of tears on my part. I've been reading a lot about Amazons and have run into a lot of horror stories and have myself scared out of my wits about him now, like what have I gotten myself into. I really like him don't get me wrong and he doesn't seem vicious,just shy, like he's not going to bite unless pushed to the limit. I really like all the little sounds he makes. I just really want to do a good job with him and not fail him, I think his life has been hard so far. Okay stress rant over!
