rehoming

[moon1964]

Hello


My name is Susan and its been a while since I have been here. I have 2 amazons that i would love to re home. Both healthy and bonded to each other. At present time they are housed in separate cages due to the breeding that happen if left in the same cage.


Angel the dyh is the sweet one while Blue bf is the sour one and i can no longer his aggressiveness towards me.


I live in Eatonville Wa in Washington State if anyone is interested please email me

Ok.
I know this tgread hasn't gotten a lot if posts.
People stress trying to work through issues.
But I'm realistic, I have worked with rescue and given up parrots. I understand limits can be reached, and shamming doesn't help the parrots. And sometimes a new home is the best thing.

We are hear to help with behaviors too tho you just have to ask.

I hope you fi d a great home for them. Might hsv to wait till the whole Pandemic thing skies down..

I understand this is a hard thing, and I for one don't judge you. I do hope you win get different parrots later tho, cuz for sure parrots are hard pets! I had a scream a thon in my house today..... Very hard.... darn parrots are spoiled to, out if the cage 8 hours a day, stuff to do, good eats, lots if love, but they just felt like a good scream....

The 1st thing re-homing or adopting promotes, is a warning, to watch for people that are flippers; free birds for profit. Thank God they are few by percentage. The 2nd thing is the "shamers" amongst us. All parrots (pets) and people are not compatible and subject to being re-trainable. However there are different forums here and threads under those different topics, that do address retraining of the owner and parrot to read, to redirect their getting along.
I wish to accept a bird or parrot and spend that sort of time to give a parrot a good home. Even at that they would have to be free with their cage and close enough to go get or meet for a transfer. All of us are not "flippers". lol
Pic's and your location are two important factors for a post. In your case I take it you have read a lot and are trying to prevent further harm to the birds attitudes and life, versus the health of your relationship with your partner. So are you looking to rehome for the birds sake or their sake and your relationship? Let us know, there are shamers AND just helpful people here. jh

after reading your post i do have a lot of mixed feelings about this...I have a hard time because i dont want to separate them. I cant just re-home blue because they are bonded pair. I would love to keep angel. so I'll just keep plugging away and try not to do more damage to the relationship i have with blue
i will delete the re-home post

Hi There,

Wow, it's too bad you are all the way in Washington State. I live in Florida and would be more than happy to take both Angel and Blue in. I know from having my Macaw and my cockatoo that aggression and misbehaviour comes from primarily 2 places. One is having been mistreated or neglected in the past and two, they have needs or wants that are not being addressed. The trick is finding what those issues are and correcting and addressing the problem. Making them happy and making them feel safe and loved is the for most for all of us parronts!! I am in the perfect position to take on a situation such as yours. I have all kinds of time and can devote as much time and touch as is necessary! I truly hope you find a loving place for your parrots. Good luck and all the best to you! Just continue to be diligent and don't give up! Also as a final note. Please try to evaluate each person that answers your ad individually. Don't let yourself expect the bad cause you can find yourself passing up on a great family or person for Blue and Angel. At the same time, be careful and listen to what they are saying and question, question, question!! Ask as many as you can and get complete answers. That's all and best of luck and give the Amazon's some love from us!!

Blue is the aggressive one towards me He bonded with my husband who didn't want them in the first place. Angel is my baby but I don't have the heart to get rid of blue cause they have bonded to each other thats the only reason I am keeping them both.
It is sad that your so far away.

If you find out you are really unable to keep them, there’s a decent rescue out in Graham, WA.

But there’s also a lot of good advice here that may help improve your relationship with Blue. Go to the Amazon sub forum and read the I Love Amazons sticky; it’s full of amazing information!

Have you found a home for them yet? I am interested.

 

[moon1964]

I see your in Texas

No i have not

I'll check that out

He's all hormonal now on top of hating me. I have read stickys stuff and I can't read his cues. I know that at any time he will lunges at me. He is also cage aggressive and play stand aggressive.
If that not enough to make ya want to give him up he screams most of the waking hours.

if you any suggestions I would love to read them

 

[Inger]

Unfortunately, beyond reading the stickies and then maybe reading them again, I don’t have any suggestions. Hopefully one of our Amazon experts will come around soon with something helpful.

Clearly you are faced with a really difficult situation. Add a late season on-set of territory hormonal rush and your Blue-Front likely really hates you.

The sad reality is that these two Amazon need to be separated for your and their own good. They are two very different species, in which both are CITES, class 1, endangered. Under CITES, mating different endangered species is not allowed. At present that is not enforceable, but it will be in a couple of years.

It appears that one is a male and the other is a female, have you verified that if not, you should.

What to do:
- Come to an understanding with your Husband regarding the Amazons! You both need to be in agreement of keeping them or rehoming them. A home divided will continue to be an on-going nightmare and likely become even worse. FYI: Amazons closely lock into our emotions and sense tension and react to it.
- A present, at least one of your Amazon's is reacting to Territory Hormonal effect and it is not a great time to begin working with that one.
- This one you are not going to like, you need to move them into separate rooms.

Once your household comes to a choice, that is when efforts can begin in one direction or the other.

If your household's choice is to keep them, there are a ton of methods of create a very different environment! With Amazon's it is very possible to 100% Start Over and begin a new and much happier life together.

You seem motivated and have a lot of incentive to socialize Blue in order to keep Angel. There are techniques you can try, including clipping Blue's wings to make him more dependent. http://www.parrotforums.com/general-parrot-information/49144-tips-bonding-building-trust.html

I suspect he is not happy with the separation from Angel. Have you tried placing them together in a large cage without a nest box? PM sent to discuss deletion.

 

[moon1964]

His wings are clipped..I have a small home and not much flying room and as he is aggressive i don't want him to attack me outside of his cage. Yes they were like that for years. Then i came on here to discuss my issues with blue and someone here said that that was my first mistake and to separate them. So I did separate them. He isn't any happier or more dependent on me. He will let my husband pick him up.
The re-homing post I'm going to keep that on here. Im sure there is someone out there that will be able to make their lives better. If i need to I'll put them back in the same cage

 

[moon1964]

we have kind of an open floor plan in our home and they are housed in the dining room so they can see us walking around...by separate room you mean one with a door?...they are in separate cages that are set side-by-side. Just had them out and blue would not stop screaming so they are back in the cages with the cover on.(i know how that sounds). its ear piercing.

 

[Tashaaa]

Look up birdtricks.com! Or youtube them! They really helped me with my DYH I took in a few years ago, that was found out on the street!

 

[Littleredbeak]

How are things going with you and Blue? I’ve been keeping my fingers crossed that your relationship with each other improves!
