Welcome. She is beautiful. Thank you for adopting her.
If I may offer a piece of advice that I sure wish someone had given me is to go totally at her pace and let her indicate to you what she will and will not accept. It's amazing she let you pet her and you were able to give her a kiss. Fortunately, Amazons are very clear on what they will and will not accept.
Also, there is a lot of misinformation out there about keeping Amazons. Don't pay any heed about that advice that you have to be the big bird and show her who is boss. Didn't work with my hot-headed (but adorable) male. Amazon people here know their stuff. I am still learning.
Are you doing to have her DNAed? Wasabi's adoption record listed him as a female. That was silly. He has all the behavior of a male.
