Hello fellow amazon lovers! I have been fostering a male blue fronted amazon for almost two years now. I'm in Raleigh NC and this beautiful boy was at the county dog shelter after being caught up in a dog hoarding situation. I had a cage and space at the time and brought him home, but now it's time for him to find his forever home as I will be moving in a couple months.

Nico is five years old (best estimate from the avian vet), is healthy and loves sugar snap peas and green beans best. He enjoys his pellets and high quality nut & fruit mix. He also loves his toys and will play nicely for hours. He is not a talker (only Hi and Hello) and is not a screamer or plucker.

I am not "selling" him, but will ask for a modest rehoming fee as he comes with his new Kings cage and toys. He is a great bird, loves head scritches and prefers women. Nico requires someone with large parrot experience---he is a male Amazon after all!

Thanks and I'm happy to answer any questions. Moderators I hope it's ok to post this rehoming. I only want the best for him and I know there are some really great people on this site:).

Why can't you take him when you move?

Hi Gypsy, Nico is a great bird, but I never intended to take on an amazon as a lifetime commitment. I have two birds of my own and that's about all I can handle. I'm happy I was able to give him a place to stay while searching for the right person for him. If I don't find a great home he will come with us in the move, but I wanted to start the search in earnest before. Change can be hard on birds and I'd prefer he find his forever home before that.

I hope Nico will find a home with an AA member. I got my YNA from a member of another bird forum. Three year anniversary this weekend. Nico sounds like a gem. Maybe posting more pictures and giving more information about his personality will prompt somebody to step up. Before my getting Rudy, I wanted to know everything about him before making a commitment.

Thanks for the tips Gypsy! I'm having trouble posting pics---I have a lot more. And I can certainly tell more about him. I'll get some photos together. I hope he goes to an AA person too. He is a great bird and through no fault of his own he ended up at the county shelter. He's quiet, plays with his toys like a maniac and loves looking out the window at the world, probably daydreaming about flying free:). Nico likes to hang out with the family too and is a good eater. He likes sugar snap peas, blueberries, and red cabbage. He likes his head scratched and his favorite is a spray bath. I think he's an amazing bird:).

Hi! I was interested and wondering what your rehoming fee would be?

What a beautiful bird he is! I am in the western part of NC, and I might be able to help care for Nico if you get in a jam. Thanks for looking after him. He looks healthy and content!
