Bobbi, what a sweet looking amazon. I took in an eclectus who was a plucker. He hated the noisy pet shop he had been in for years and was terribly plucked. He screamed all the time in the pet shop. I have had him since May and he has stopped plucking and is quiet, except when he wants something. I took him to the vet and he is healthy so I spray him everyday with Aloe Vera juice (thanks Dave007) and I believe it has helped tremendously. So I believe, if you have the patience and the love for this sweet amazon go for it. Guapo probably needs a permanent loving home and he will flourish. Good luck with your decision.
