"Cha Cha" is a female Green-cheeked Amazon that is approximately 1 year old.She takes all her queues from "Joey", the Blue-fronted Amazon she lives with. She says 'Hi Joey', 'Poor Joey', whistles, and barks like dog. She loves her hanging bed, which is like a fuzzy blanket hung like a hammock. Being a young bird her owner says she is quite the clutz!

| I just lost my Green Cheeked Amazon, Polly after being owned by him for 24 years....He was 51 as far as I know. He was supposed to be 26 when we got him. I am still in major grief mode as you can imagine. I don't know how I will fill the void. I do not plan to get another bird as I'm in my 60's and would not want to leave the bird behind. It's very nice to read comments about all you people who have parrots and love them well as I did my Polly. He died peacefully in my loving hands. Just wanted to share with someone.

| My boyfriend and I have a Mexican Red Head parrot. His name is Chico. He is a very loving bird to myself. But when it comes to my boyfriend, Chico will allow him to pick him up but then quickly flies back to his cage. However when I pick Chico up he will let me pet him on his back, pokes holes in my shirt with his beak, groom me by running his beak through my hair, and climbs up to my shoulder. He says, "What?" which I think he gets from me asking him, "what are you doing?" Chico also coos like a dove and chatters like he is trying to say something but it isn't legible. We got Chico from a couple that never had time to spend with him. They kept him locked in his cage and wouldn't let him on their shoulder. When We brought Chico home he was very shy at first and ran away when we tried to pick him up. Now he loves to perch and sleep on top of his cage. I never close him up unless he gets into one of his flying moods or we have alot of people over. When I come home from work and don't greet him he will let me know he wants attention by flying to thw kitchen window or flying into my bedroom. He is like a different bird than when we first got him. We have had him for a year now, he is around four years old. We love him very much and look forward to being with him for many more years. Origionally Chico was suspose to be my boyfriends bird but has bonded with me instead.

| Rio is my Red Head Amazon. He is 13 yrs old. He loves showers and the spray bottle, whistles to part of that mayberry song from years ago, kisses, talks up a storm like 'pretty boy' and 'good boy', and makes meow sounds. He says outside/Rio Rio Rio and then sometimes he will sound like a male and then change to a female voice, especially when my sweetie is here and we get into a conversation. He joins in with all kinds of jibberish, like he is having a conversation with us. When I get home from work he wants to be with me 24/7. He hangs out with our two cats and our dog during the day, flies around the house, and loves being on the porch listening to the other birds. He stays out of his cage most of the time. The only time he screams is when he sees a stranger walking down the street. The whole neighborhood can hear him (alert). The best watch bird I've ever had, even better than our dog! He is greatly loved and will be spoiled rotten for many more years to come! E LOVE OUR RIO...

| I just inhereted one of these birds from my father-in-law. The bird's name is Diablo, and he is roughly 50 years old. My father-in-law got him when he was 8 years old, and they don't know how old the bird was before that! He's sorta crabby, but he's a member of the family! He hates women for some reason...crazy old bird! Just goes to show that these birds ARE a lifelong commitment. Cheers!

| Seeing this picture reminds me of my first parrot- obtained in 1968 when I was 14 years old. What a great friend, wonderful pet it was! Certainly it was a captured bird, and had spent time on a farm in its native land. It never talked a word, but had a full repetoire of farm animal sounds, from "quack" to rooster crows, dog barking, cow mooing, etc. I had the great imagination (not!) to name the bird Quack. He needed no training, but was tame from day one. Would lay on his back in my hand, ride the handle bars of my bicycle, "read" books with me, obligingly puncturing the right front corner of each page as turned. With Quack I never needed a bookmarker! His attempts at human speech were mumbles more than articulations. The bird had a built-in clock. He ONLY screamed when he knew I was due home from school. Often, as I walked the last block to home that was when the bird set up his raucous scream- to be let out of the cage and be with me. 2003-08-20 |
