Hi
I am new to this forum... But can anyone tell me what are the "hot 3" and their personalities? I was reading a forum and there are so much I am still learning. Just figured out BFA = blue front amazon >.< hehe
"Hot 3" amazons tend to experience a more dramatic puberty and more dramatic hormonal periods throughout their lives. They can become rather hot tempered

and as one might logically expect, begin to develop a different personality as a adult bird than when they were a juvenile (starting around 4-6 years old). They typically go through a several year period when they have very bad hormones, before calming down and only experiencing it annually (it's similar to a kid entering their teen years). Males do tend to get it worse than females. That isn't to say they make bad pets, because that is not true or fair. The hot 3 zons make WONDERFUL companions. It ALL depends on how the owner handles it when they hit puberty as they can be worked with, trained and handled safely. The 'horror' stories you hear about hot 3 zons are really more owner-caused issues than they are the birds.
