So, I have a bonded pair of Blue Fronted Amazons. Bobo (the male) and Harley (the female). I thought I would share a little about them since I don't talk about them much and get some pictures in here too!
For BFAs, the male isn't nearly as aggressive as he could be which is why I tagged Melissa in the subject line of the thread. Melissa, can you share with us about your bonded pairs of Amazons and how aggressive your males can be?
Bobo is a bit aggressive but not bad for having a girlfriend! He's popped out of the feeder door a few times but he's a slow mover. He's fully flighted and has come after me but halfheartedly. I can usually get him to step up onto a stick and get him back into the cage fairly easily but I have to angle the stick right or he'll move up the stick to get me! He also chases me when I try to change food and water but it's never been much of a problem and if I try to move the cage around, I have to be careful to watch for him because he'll come after my hands if he can get them.
Harley is a petite little sweetheart who is afraid of hands and is a cutie if you take her out alone. When she's with Bobo, she likes to boss him around. Together they are pretty funny, always kind of just telling each other what to do but neither of them ever listens to the other. I thought about separating them at one time because I thought Bobo wasn't letting Harley get to the food because she was so thin, but it turns out she's just a tiny little thing and she missed Bobo, so I returned her to him and they seem to really like each other's company.
I've never given them a nestbox, so I've never gotten any eggs which is fine by me. Unlike my slutty Galah pair, I've never seen Bobo even try to mount Harley but I'm sure he's a boy and she's a girl. Harley doesn't really say anything in human, but Bobo has a few sayings like "Pick me up" and "Scratch my head" neither of which I will do because I like all the digits on my hands! He also says the name "Sophia" all the time...which I don't really understand because I was clearly told that Harley's name was Harley!
They are incredibly stunning and my pictures cannot do them justice. The red on the sides of their wings is spectacular! Iris doesn't have that...probably because she's a brat and they don't give those colors out to brats!
With that, I give you Harley and Bobo:
Bobo is such a dork sometimes!
