Thank you for updating us with Emma's adjustment. I really like how the breeder makes efforts to socialize all the babies to different situations and people. She has helped me learn more about the species I am interested in and helped me know if it will be a good fit. I never even considered an amazon before but am now looking forward to adding the Panama to our flock next year. I am still up in the air on gender and am tempted to be surprised. LOL.
We had talked at length with the possibility of the amazon being trained for therapy work. We all know my RFM would make a HORRIBLE therapy pet because he is too loud, big and naughty. Valentino is more appropriate for a performing parrot rather than a therapy pet. I enjoy the personality of the RFM but look forward to getting our baby Panama as well. I did let her know that if by the time I am ready and her older babies are still with her I would consider one of them as well. I am more interested in the best fit possible rather than having to get a "just weaned baby".
Meanwhile I am learning all I can about the Panama amazon and why they make amazying companions. I believe this species would make a wonderful therapy pet and companion.
First we need to replace Julio's cage with one more appropriate for his disability. The cage he is now will be a good size for the Pan so once I got the cage ready I can think about making payments on the Panama amazon. In this past weeks "birdy buddy" pics I saw a family posing with one of the baby Panama's so I am thinking she may only have one baby left this year.
