Firstly, well done ReptileGuy! I was sure we would be reading that you had got a macaw! You have certainly made a wise choice by not getting a macaw!

Secondly, is this amazon DNA sexed? If it is a male, you may well be in for a rough time when he is in breeding mode. Male amazons become very aggressive at this time, even attacking the people they normally adore. You will have to manage him carefully at this time, which last for a few weeks generally.

I know it's generally the cock birds that are accepted as aggressive but I've never had anything but affection from my two amazon boys.However I have a red lored hen,tame, but she's one hell of a fierce old bird.Not mellowed in over twenty years.Hates me with a passion.

I agree with this comment, dont want to smash your dreams but honestly you want to start with something smaller and for a beginner! They may be alot to look at but the sheer power of there beak once its got in a strop and tryed to nibble at you will intimidate you to say the least. And you cant give it less attention or you'll have a bird with severe behavioural difficulties!!

anyparrot can be moody at the best of times but amazons are known for there sexual frustration and temper problems,lol,but im sure you are prepared

it probs wont be tomorrow when i get him because im out all night at a bomfire party but hopfully ill be getting him tomorrow and ill be able to spend the whole night with him i really actuly cannot wait and as for his breeding moments well ill just have to suck it up and smile im sure he'll bring me enough joy to forgive him

[Ssthisto]

I'm just worried that you haven't answered my question - what if he bonds to someone other than you when he hits adulthood? Are you completely prepared for him to be *someone else's* parrot?

thats the best thing to do when you first get him,just sit with him and talk to him,that was how i bonded with mine wen i went down stairs his cage came with me etc,had to train him to be left alone though as he screetched when i left the room( my fault for spoiling him )

[tH3 r3PtIle gUY!]

i might be picking him up yoday my dads coming for me any min now and were going to have a look at him well i say a "look" lol but yer i really cant wait anylonger and as for him bonding with somone else obviously ill try to get him to love me more than anyothers but if he does attact himself to somone else then it will be very very sad but ill just have to well i dont know but i wouldnt sell him id probs look after him and let who ever hes taken to handle him.
