Yes, Amazons are amazing! And yes, they can destroy things! You are lucky that yours likes visitors. Is he young?

So true, they do say a lot with their eyes- amazing for a species that talks so well!!!

LOL!

Yep he's in control 🤣

LOL just asked what kind you have! They are loud, but wonderful, right?

Thanks for watching, France!

I have an affinity to Amazons, yes! I love all my parrots, but Amazons seem to really like me and one of my closest bonds is with an Amazon :)

Yay! I love hearing that people love their Amazon-- since they can be challenging. I'm with you, love mine!

Thanks, he's wonderful!

I always hear that people LOVE their Amazon, but that the Amazon only likes 1 person. So lucky, so glad your Zon likes your son! And the diet… I know, parrots are good at making you feel like they won’t eat anything if you don’t give them what they want. however, you can insist… I don’t think human food is bad, as long as your Zon does not get meat (I know, loves it) or processed foods and ‘bad’ oils. It’s worth trying to at least modify his/her diet :)

@@ParrotBliss thanks for the reply. We've tried so much. He becomes like a hunger striker then hahaha.

Sweetheart

Welcome Brn! Amazons are amazing🙂 We have 3!

How exciting! Congratulations!

I'm jealous! It would be fun to see them!

I hear pigeons make great pets!

I’m lucky, he’s gentle!

Thanks for joining and getting my book! What kind of Amazon are you looking to get? You don't mind the NOISE? My Zons are loud! Ahhhh! LOL!

Adopt, don’t buy. 💕

@@skittles2055 Don't tell people what to do or how to live their life. Mind your own business.

@@taoboxer9 I can speak up for precious animals all I want thanks.

@@skittles2055 shutup no one wants to adopt an animal which would be IMENSELY hard to “tame” to a basic standard and is more aggressive and stressed which requires more experience and skill. Telling everyone to adopt pets is just asking for more people to mistreat already mistreated pets

Yeah, it gets crazy around here too… and loud! LOL

They are!

That’s exactly mine! Take the phone out, they stop! LOL what kind of Zon do you have?

So, you've had him for 16 years? I'm not surprised about him being that way with outsiders, they are loyal to their mate/flock. But when you are in with them, they are awesome, right?

Thank you. Ursulus is wonderful!

Absolutely!

Hi Donna, I’ll make a video for you

The red on Ursulu's head is as much as they get.

They don't do well all alone (without another bird) unless you give them A LOT of time and attention. How old is your Amazon? Have you had him for his whole life?

What species do you have?

I have a strict diet for my parrots. My Red-head gets no seeds and no fruit. Not good for him/Amazons. Honestly, I don't really have hormonal birds. Ursulus is 4 or 5. I atritute not having hormonal issues to: (I'll aim to do a video on this) I'm calm with him. He has a cage-mate, another Amazon. Again, diet. So, I don't experience hormonal issues or biting. :)

The breeder is hand feeding now completely but will wean on no fruit and seeds either. She said sugars and high fat seeds are extremely bad for him. I would love if you made a video on this. I plan to set up a member account tonight. Thank you for your response.

They say they can always learn- we have one that does and one that doesn’t seem to learn anymore- worth trying.

@@ParrotBliss any idea what the best method for teaching them is?

Have you ever had a parrot before? How much time do you have to dedicate to your parrot?

@@ParrotBliss I’ve had multiple parrots and i have quite a lot of time to spare daily (i’ve had Cockatiels, Multiple budgies who have all been very tame, and i have had a sun conure who i took outside and played with a lot) (Also the amazon parrot i’m thinking of getting is going to be an Orange winged amazon parrot)

@@ParrotBliss .

I have videos on bringing home rescue parrot - I have rescued several species, including Amazons. If you do a search using the words “Parrot Bliss” and “rescue” then you’ll see several videos pop up :) Congratulations to you both on the new Amazon!

Daily practice, start in the house doing recall training.

Actually, that is another species :) There are like 50+ species of Amazons!

Try finding a breeder. I don't know of any and don't know of anyone with one now.

In the video I have a Mexican Red-headed Amazon. I don’t know Lilacs, but my guess is that they are cuddly too

Yes but fairly similar

My Amazons haven’t been problematic at all - BUT they are not young and one is too young. Took are notorious, especially males. So, during the ‘teen’ years, Amazons could be terrible, I just don’t know.

I have not observed that in my 4 Zons. Vet time? Is he behaving any differently?

@@ParrotBliss He's pooped like that since I got him about a year ago. He's about 1.5 years old. I have taken him to a vet once when I thought he looked sick and the vet told me he had a yeast infection. He doesn't look sick anymore and he's quite happy and healthy but yeah ever since the day I got him he just liquid poops every 5 minutes even while he sleeps. He eats a solid diet too, 70% pellets with the remainder being fruits/veg. Do you think I should get him checked out?

@@peppytheecky1703 here’s the thing, since I’m not an avian vet, I don’t really understand why his poops are so frequent and so liquid. What I have learned is that that’s not how parent poops should be. Of course, I don’t know if there can be exceptions. For that reason, if I were you, I would get him checked out. Liquid poops are supposed to be diarrhea. I would also remove fruits from his diet. I think that may contribute, not sure. In any case, you are probably buying and giving him right fruit, which is high in Fritos and may contribute to this. so, I would definitely take my Amazon to the vet. You may be able to have your vet look at the droppings, and your vet may say it’s fine, which would be an inexpensive vet visit. Just the office call. Then you would have peace of mind. If not, the vet may catch some thing and save his life.

@@ParrotBliss Yeah I'll take him to a vet again for another check out

@@peppytheecky1703 let me know how it goes. I hope it’s as least expensive as possible with great results!

Thank you, Greg. Virdi I will remember, it is basically ’verde’ in Spanish. Genalis will be harder to remember 😀🦜

No… I wound up bringing a couple home over the years!

@@ParrotBliss your babies are so precious

A lot of exotic bird stores don’t mind if people come in and spend time with the birds, it’s usually good for the birds. Try visiting a pet store. Also, you could volunteer at a rescue. I’m guessing they would let you spend time after your volunteer.

They do!

Are you asking what you should feed yours?

@@ParrotBliss yes ma’am

Thank you for watching from Japan!

@@ParrotBliss Hello! （╹◡╹）♡🕊💕 Thank you for your reply ♪ (*≧∀≦*)🕊😃

It's true, different species are known for talking more/less. I find they are all potentially noisy and Ursulus is one of my best talkers.

What’s kind of Amazon do you have?

I bought it on Facebook and puked on my head LOL

Jana, thanks for making me laugh! What language do you speak?

Norwegian

Or Swedish or English

6,000? I’ve never heard of such a high price. Where do you live?

@@ParrotBliss I live in Clearwater fla

Oh- you should be able to find one for a lower price. I've not looked at the bird stores near you, but seems like there are several. LMK how it goes.

Agreed- people call them pets, but they are so much more

Yeah!
