Welcome. Amazons are great birds! I'm glad to hear you're doing your research first, it will make it *so* much easier when your new baby finally comes home. What kind of amazon are you looking at getting? Are you looking to get a baby or adopt one from a rescue/shelter?

Thanks! I am getting a Double Yellow-Head Amazon. I will be getting a baby So excited....I am hoping she gets one in the fall....but since spring is when they have the babies I will probably have to wait till then

Congratulations!!!! I did not choose to get an amazon, I ended up adopting an amazon from a deceased family member and it was the greatest adoption ever. The circumstances were sad but I'm glad Buddy is with me and I could give him a good home. I knew nothing about amazons when I got him, he's 25 years old now and he was so starved for love. Please note he had a great home but his owner was bedridden after having a stroke and couldn't give him the attention he needed or the attention he was use to. I joined this forum, got direction and he and I bonded quickly.

Amazons are amazing characters, Buddy always talks back to me, he's nonstop noise, he loves me to bits, I love him to bits, I don't know what I'd do without him. Even Husband loves him and they both have a hate/hate relationship. I don't think you will regret your decision.
