Hey everyone, I have several houseplants - all of which are supposed to be safe for birds. Mostly ferns, Sansevieria and a couple of other random plants. My birds, of course, like to chomp on them from time to time which should be fine as I wash them and try to make sure they're as "clean" as...

I adopted a Panama Amazon about 7-8 months ago, she’s 19 years old (20 on May 9th!) and very sweet and loving. Not a plucker. For context, I work during the day, and occasionally at night too. I always come back and spend time with her before she gets out to bed to make up for that. Our system...

Hello everyone! We are looking to find a forever home for a ~30 year old Amazon parrot. He was wild caught and lived with the same person for 20+ years, until she passed away. Since then he's been in multiple temporary homes. He doesn't fly, which makes him super easy and fun to take outside (he...

The founder of Cascade Canine Rescue East & West (C-CREW) and her son raised Baby from a baby and have kept her as a pet for almost 16 years. The son now has a family (etc...you know the story) and every room in the Mom's house is full of recently rescued, high-needs dogs in transition to...

Hello everyone! My name is Kirsty and I am definitely a bird lover. I have had smaller birds all my life, but recently my husband and I have decided to adopt a medium sized bird. We have put a deposit down on an adorable dusky pionus, but I am feeling torn between him and a super sweet Amazon. I...

IM looking to get a amazon but every time I do more research I cannot decide on a species. I'm being so careful not to jump into anything because I want to make sure I have the time to give the bird I get and I want to make sure I have all the knowledge! I always come back to the DYH amazon but...

Hi, I have just adopted a blue fronted amazon from a rescue. I like to think I know things but just like having babies years apart these memories and moments come and go. I’m happily browsing for now all the interesting notes and conversation, I’m certainly interested in giving him a better...

Please talk me out of adopting this 19-year-old female mealy amazon. Anything. Give me horror stories. Tell me how fast I'd be evicted with an Amazon in my duplex. Show me your worst bites. Come directly into my home and punch me in the face! :hilarious: You can probably see me falling in love...

Hiya, I'm interested in getting an Amazon parrot. I have plenty of experience with smaller parrots but am really keen in an amazon. In particular the yellow crowned amazon. Any experiences with their birds would be very helpful

I'm currently looking for a baby amazon parrot to join my flock! I live in south Florida and I hope to find a breeder I can visit. If that's not possible I will consider shipping. Does anyone know of reputable breeders of amazon parrots that I can check out? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm new here. I've owned a bird in the past, however; I've never adopted. Recently I've been looking around for a mature parrot to take into my home as a companion. After months of searching, I came across a post today from an exotic bird rescue in my city. I saw that they had a yellow naped...

Long read ahead: I recently have taken in temporarily a Mealy Amazon as a favor for my Friend's friend. This Amazon has had two owners now, both of whom are deceased. The first owner was an older gentleman who lived alone and the the little guy was found a week later. The second one was...

Hi, guys! First of all, let me introduce myself! My name is Mariana, but you can call me Mari! I'm 20 years old and I live in Brazil. English is not my mother language at all, so I apologize for any grammar mistakes that I WILL make! I live in an apartment in São Paulo and spend most of my day...

Hello, A little about me, I'm a mom, work part time, two kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and now a Amazon parrot owner/pet parent. It all started 5 1/2 years ago when my daughter adopted a Cockatiel (Lutino). About 6 mo ago my husband adopted a recue Conure (Jenday/Sun mix) know for his/her grumpiness...

A few months ago, we took some Amazons from a bad owner. She was a 70 year old woman and she was terrible to these birds. They had no room in their cages, no toys, the buildup of stool was barely cleanable, and their feathers were so dirty that when they shook, a huge cloud of dust filled the...

I’ve been looking at cages for the past month, i see them when i close my eyes!:wacky: It comes down to two flight cages i found on amazon, and i wanted to get the AA opinion on them. (It took me a long time because it’s very difficult to find good cages at a good price that also ship to the...

New member here checking things out. I have eight feathered friends, three of which are canaries. The others are:G2, B & G Mac, BF Amazon, CAG and a Senegal. I consider all of them members of my family and love them dearly, as does my wife. I hope to learn a lot here and to contribute whatever I...

The thing is, I have commissioned a huge cage for my parrots: a Blue-Front Amazon and two cockatiels. The cage will be big enough for housing the three birds, and an additional panel (with little holes so they can't bite eachother) will be added to separate both sides, one for each species...

When I was in high school, I visited my best friend's house every single weekend. I was told, every single time, to stay away from the Yellow Crowned Amazon on the back porch, because she WOULD bite me and was vicious. She was never allowed out of her cage, because she nearly bit the owner's...
