I'm in the process of looking for my future medium/small parrot. Went to a pet shop yesterday who have a female Blue Fronted Amazon for sale. Apparently she has been there since last year - June, I think. Apparently she was bitey at first, but has tamed down a lot and is pretty affectionate from what I heard and saw myself.
When I saw her, she would do this purring/growling sound (you know, the sounds Zons do) staring at me and she pretty much immediately lowered her head for scratches and wanted to share kisses. I once hit a broken feather and she lunged at me without taking contact with her beak, I said I understood and apologised for hurting her and she let me continue scratching straight away. I also got to hold her and she got beaky couple of times, thus I warned her and she ignored that so I let her on her cage until offering my hand to step up and try again. She also got beaky to the guy asking her to step up out of the cage. I tried taking her out myself when she went in the second time and she stepped up immediately - this could be of course because it had been already asked once.
Apparently she has her character and have "those days" which is no news when it's a Zon in question, and a female. But, you who know better, what do you think of that cuddliness for a BFA of her age, is it likely to stay, or?
