    Casper, a blue fronted Amazon. Loves banana. Hates plastic bags and red coats.
    Casper molts twice a year, in January/February and September/October. And then randomly the primary wing and tail feathers, and a couple of times since he came here (3 years ago) the feathers across the top of his beak all at once - which seems a daft way to do it if you ask me, but what do I know, I'm not an Amazon.
    A floofy moment:

    It looks like there has been an explosion in a pillow factory
    Your stuffings coming out (when there is down everywhere)

    Hi Kristin

    Your amazon is quite the looker~ So nice of you to post a pic of h/her. How exciting to have a new bird join your family. What made you want a bird and did you want an amazon in particular?

    Thank you so much.

    I wanted a bird mainly because I love pets, I had already owned a dog, 2 cats, a rabbit, some chickens, ducks, geese, Guinea fowl, turkeys, and some indoor budgies. I may never naturally have another baby, I only have a 2 year old it was a very tough and dangerous pregnancy for my daughter. So yea animals help me cope with so much, and on top of that it's hard for me to socialize well since I have Tourette's and so forth.

    I honestly wanted an Amazon or a macaw, I saw a zon I liked at the store but unfortunately it was not for sale. I found my buddy here on Craigslist so I just had to get him. best decision I ever made to be quite honest.

    He is hormonal, I opened to take some pics and he was doing a dance and his eyes began to rapidly dilate, so I was like okay... I will leave you to yourself for a tad. :P He didn't want to be bothered. Earlier he took a very small tumble and fell to the soft carpet because he was going crazy on the short perch my hubby made, I am sure he is okay Thank God.

    I feel so sad for him during these hormonal phases because sometimes he just goes out of it, poor guy but he will be just fine with due time.

    This is a drawing I did for my buddy - On my other topic about Jazzy I will post my new drawing of her! Please check it out in the Macaw section!

    PS. I am sorry it's upside down, on my pc it is right side up but for some reason on here it is upside down. :P


    Edit: Update on Carlos, he is now saying step up because Jazzy says it. I swear I think he is pulling out all the tricks because he is jealous but not in a mean destructive way but in a cute way. Now when Jazzy talks I can hear him talk from the other room, I have them separated for quarantine but he can hear her haha.

    Ha-ha that is a good one! And thanks, he's definitely my buddy. I just feel so sorry for him sometimes because since his wing is messed up he does not have good balance.
