Soooo, sixty percent of the votes go to Yellow Nape? B-I-N-G-O isn't saying and I'm still undecided. Thanks for the opinions and votes! It was fun and I've learned a lot about sub species, apparently not enough but still.
I was very concerned about Bingo for a few days, he seemed to have trouble processing all he'd been through. He called out for his first human who passed away six months ago, it was heartbreaking to hear, he also coughed like a human when he was calling for his lost friend and caregiver. Bingo was showing visible signs of stress and showed little interest in his new surroundings and even less interest in food. I knew he had not been allowed out of his cage for about eight months and I was told he had to have a certain pellet diet and a particular seed mix or he would immediately pluck himself bald. Where do people get these ideas? I want to say here, I am not judging the woman who made the choice to rehome her birds, life happens to all of us, I know it was an awful decision to have to make. These birds were loved and well taken care of for most of their lives and it shows. I'm thrilled she chose us as Bingo and Jack's new family. In a sense she is correct, abrupt change and stress often trigger plucking but an unvaried, limited diet and never moving or changing the cage in any way can be harmful too.
Back to Bingo, I knew coming out of his cage would be hard after eight months, I kept opening his door so he could decide. I provided the food he was familiar with but he flatly refused to go near his bowls. My tiny green Quaker, mentor, Harry, tried to starve herself once, the tricks I learned attempting to get food past her beak came in handy once again.
I fed Bingo from my hand one bite at a time for several days. I kept serving him fresh chop for breakfast and dinner but he would only accept it from my fingers. The first finger food that made Bingo LOL was sweet potato fries dusted with cinnamon and coconut flakes then baked in the oven. He's tried a lot of new foods in the last few days and several have made his new favorite foods list. His poop has looked a little healthier every day and this morning it looked normal.
Yesterday Bingo came out of his cage for the first time since he arrived. This evening he ran to his dinner bowl and sang to his food. He still clamps his beak to the side of his water dish and sucks the water rather than drinking like most parrots do, I'm sure that's from only having a bottle to drink from for a long time. He was in such a happy mood once he left his cage, I decided to try a mist bath, he squealed at first and I thought he was afraid but when he fluffed his feathers I realized he was a little shy but delighted to get wet.
Bingo loves evenings, some people would undoubtedly say he gets loud. Remember I live with Poppy an umbrella cockatoo. I love his voice and the odd noises he makes. We're making wonderful progress and having a great time getting to know each other.
*I have yet to meet the beautiful CAG, Jack, but I hear he's adjusting much more quickly than Bingo, more proof that all birds are as unique as we are and experience life as it unfolds. They can teach us volumes if we let them.
Each time I look at Bingo's pictures, I change my mind about what kind of Amazon he may be. Whichever it is, he's a handsome fellow and he'll be another great companion for you and the flock. 
Very cute, but also a little aggravating.
