I have been working with a small rescue looking for another bird to adopt, I got a rescued CAG from them in November but am wanting another parrot because I can not handle him ( he came from a very bad home, I love my boy and wouldnt trade him for the world just want a bird I can handle)
Anyways I got put inconstant with a elderly lady whos health is getting bad and wants to find a home for her BEAUTIFUL 14 year old Yellow Crowned Amazon, Danny.
I talked to her for two weeks trying to pick a time to go meet him and I thought bring him home. So we drove 2 hours yesterday to go meet him, everything went great and he is a awesome bird but now we are supposed to go back and get him today. Kinda frustrating but she has had the bird since he was a baby and they are very attached, I mean VERY attached. But she said she really likes us and she thinks he does to so we get to bring him home today! He was preening my arm and talking to me after just 10 mins!
Im just really hoping she doesnt change her mind again but she said she would have his things around and would buy him a bag of pellets for us and she had to make some list of the things and likes and doesnt like.
I just wanted to share that with everyone cause I am so excited and I will be sure to post pics when I get him home!!

He's finally home!! haha and is doing great! Loves head scratches and let my pick him up and walk around the house with him! The lady I got him from said he doesnt take well to new people at all so I am very shocked!
He desperately needs and a new cage, toys and perches! So on friday we are going on a shopping trip ( so excited ).
Here are so pics from yesterday!

ya he talks alot but I cant really understand him. What I can understand so far is 'hello' and 'thank you" that he says after I scratch his head

Hey shelby, looks like you and danny are a good match. How's a good time to expose him to more people, socialize,socialize,socialize. I think you two will get along great. it's the other peoples around that you need to work on. Their lives (amazons) are so enriched when you can take them places and do things with them. Good Luck and welcome to the forum
