Sam is a Red Winged Amazon Parrot. I just got him about a week ago. I never owned a bird before. I baby sat for him a few times thru the years. He was my brothers bird they were together for 37 years. My brother passed away and no one else wanted Sam, So Aunt Faith took him in. So Sam is about 38 years old he has no band so was caught in the wild and sold. He does not talk, he does not let anyone touch him, he just sits there. I took him to the vet an exotic bird specialist in my area. They say he can learn to do things I hope so. That is why I joined this forum I hope to learn what everyone talks about with their birds and how to handle them and teach tricks.
