Would you train your Amazon to sit on your shoulder?

Nope....because you ARE young at heart, and always will be.

I am so sorry, you definitely sound young at heart ...

BUT ... the math doesn't lie, LOL!

Personally, I'm young at heart and juvenile of mind! :32:
But there are two things we cannot escape ...

MATH ...

And the fact that I have photos of me looking pretty much the same (without the bird)!
(Remember butch cream?)

The late 50's ... live it, love it ... OWN IT! :42:

Forbey

My female cockatiel that is 12 years old now I can say has only ever *truly* bitten once in her entire lifetime! And the reason she bit? Because she had a night fright and got herself stuck, so she was freaking out! She bit hard enough to draw blood! It's the only time that she has actually bitten! And if not for that once (recent) incident, I could say that she's never bitten at all!

But she is no amazon or large parrot! So it is unlikely she could do major damage!



It really is a personal choice as to whether or not to shoulder your birds, and if you do, you should take on the responsibility aka risks of doing so. As mentioned previously, birds may be fine on shoulders for years, and then one day, something changes and the bird attacks! Who knows why, there are a multitude of reasons!


Just do what you feel comfortable with! My largest parrot is my mitred conure and I do allow him on my shoulder. He even flies to the top of my head, which I typically don't mind! But if I'm sitting down at a desk, he often enjoys being on my arms, on the desk or even in my lap rather than my shoulders. Thankfully, with his damaged beak, he really can't cause a lot of harm!

I fully respect and appreciate diverse opinions. Just wasn't expecting a supermod to he openly rude to me. I've never been openly rude on this forum so I just didn't expect it coming. Im all for thick skin. Comes with the territory of being on a public forum. But i'm not here to argue or fight so I've stated my opinion politely, and won't state another voice on this thread again. I'm not here to get attacked or subjected to open rudeness.

I hope you do stay! I don't think Wendy mean anything harsh by it. Let her respond to you so you can give her a chance to explain. I'll apologize in advance if you feel wronged on the post!

Oh no worries. I just won't add more input to this topic is all. I don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers
