I doubt you're ever going to find an amazon of ANY type without SOME personality! :laughin:

It's more common it MAY not be a personality you love or even like, ESPECIALLY, with the types that @aooratrix has mentioned. These species tend to lean towards the MOST aggressive of Amazon's, so I've been told. They can be down right mean & angry & ALL the time, as I understand it.... HUGE personality! ;)

But with that being said, some of our AA members have the Zon's in these partiqular species & they claim they're the sweetest around. Just like us... Crazy humans, they're each individual's in their own right. If I was going to pick a new bird & didn't care about mating or breeding them (which, I don't even want another)....

I'd go to a santuary or adoption center (these guys live to 50-60 yrs old. I'd go find a bird that gelled with me. One that I loved & leaned towards cooperation with me.... I would maybe lean towards an amazon again... but from there... I'd let them pick me! Far more important to me personally! Buddy actually picked my daughter initially he got me & maybe her if I pass from this world. It took me forever to gain his trust & respect. I would much rather have that right away.

Love Amazons. I had a super sweet one that passed away and I have Secret.

MC gave me reason to hope that Secret would mellow. Still hoping . . . .

Hope still lives. I can skritch the bird with my hand when she's out of the cage......sometimes she doesn't try to eat me!

Just saw the thread title again.

Secret is a DNA male blue front. I call Secret a "her" because she was smaller in build than the other Amazon, so we assumed female. It's stuck in my brain but DNA showed both birds to be male.
