They aren't anymore it was banned in 1995, pinioning thankfullly is illegal now as well! If I could give one gift to Maggie it would be his flight! In the wild amazons are known to be amzing acrobats in the air. They can fly backwards, sideways and upside down. That was stolen from him because somebody figured ir would make him tame!A wild caught? I didn't know that was still happening. I'm behind on current info on this sorry! He is awesome! How long have you had Maggie?
The one vet we seen about the scissor beak wanted to put him under for it, so I learned how to trim it myself. It is better now but still scissored. It doesn't affect his ability to eat though and now that he will chew it is controlled better.Oh, Maggie is a doll! Poor thing - you can tell he was wild caught and had a rough life. Have you taken him anywhere to work back his scissor beak?
We had an umbrella cockatoo for many years who was wild caught and physically abused. She was the sweetest bird I've ever worked at, but it was because she had been beaten.. No matter WHAT you did she wouldn't bite. It was very bittersweet.
I love the sound of an amazon voice!:lovehearts:The red lored aren't as big of talkers as the DYHs, they mumble more than anything, Maggie likes to quack and whistle. He does have a small vocabulary though. (I love you, thank you, am I a good girl?, what do I do? hello, ect...)I don't have an amazon, but I want one!
Come to think of it I want every parrot, but I've always had a soft spot for amazons.
They are such personalities and very good talkers.
It's just their voices which may be their downfall....
Yes I love the sound of their talking voice, and they are stunning, and friendly, and big, in fact everything I like in a parrot.... and I would have one, but they are too noisy for me.I love the sound of an amazon voice!:lovehearts:The red lored aren't as big of talkers as the DYHs, they mumble more than anything, Maggie likes to quack and whistle.
