I don't know any one else that is owned by an amazon! On another forum I belong to there is only one other amazon! I am sooooo happy to be here!
We share our life with Maggie, our 20 + year old Red Lored Amazon. He is wild caught and pinioned so he will never be able to fly. He came to us as a rehome from a couple who did not know what they were getting in to. They asked me to take him because I was the "bird lady", lol. To think I almost said no! We have worked very hard to earn his trust, accepting him as he was, switching his diet, working with his beak (it is scissored due to malnutrition). Our patience and acceptance has been rewarded with his trust and his love. He is my dearest companion, and tolerates the rest of the family well though is nervous of strangers. He is very gentle and patient with children though and entertained them on several occasions, when I have done a children's parrot program!
We are thrilled to be here amongst other 'Zon" people!
