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 air. The owner's brother ended up putting her in a home because she had dementia, but you could tell the birds were abused long before.
The birds themselves are a Red Lored Amazon named Ruby, and a Blue Fronted Amazon named Sapphire (Creative, I know.) We got them a HUGE cage with toys and everything a bird needs, plus a play area on top. They loved it immediately. Once they got settled in, they started making some funny noises. They whistled, chirped, kissed, chattered, crowed, and much MUCH more. But still, they didn't like us. They bit HARD. I still have a huge scar despite being bit months ago! I'm just curious as to things we can do to maybe make them a bit calmer? I want to teach them to step up, but they're afraid to. Please help.
