{Feel-good-00020069}How cute, don't they love to eat!!!!:laugh: nice photos...Karma..Thanks Jay;)

Karma and welcome....Sounds like Mojo is a bird with his own mind. I agree with what Luvparrots wrote, it appears Mojo is set in his routine, how long has this been going on? Suggestion, try doing thing a little different on your days off. Keep us posted:) Jay

A Karma for your informative post. I felt S.N.I.F.F showed insight into parrots and people, any humor is always a plus... Jay

From what I've researched so far [can't find much] is that the musky smell that a amazon puts off comes from the area of the "cere". Still trying to find out more....Any suggestions any one? :unsure: Jay http://www.plannedparrothood.com/sniff.html#ENTRIES

In reality, Zon's are quite easy to take care of, their not that temperamental or demanding, you just need to be aware of their needs and differences...

I've watched it 3 times..... More...:laugh: Jay

A fact not mentioned yet is that most Amazons exude a musky odor when happy, upset, angry, excited or frightened. It's not a unpleasant smell to me, but please don't try to wash it off...LOL.:whistle: Jay

:laugh: Hi all, Salsa here...love my new room! I'm Green and proud of it!!! Spock won't leave me alone...he keeps yelping about how he's "Flock Leader". They even named the room after me, "Salsa AMAZON". Amazon is my last name you know...It's all about me, my friends, my cousins...oooohhhh...(:huh: ) so many cousins!!!! All your birdies send me pics' too...all so pretty and such wonderful "Parronts" talking care of us...Greenies RULE!! Spock...get away....:evil: See you later.... Salsa

Dan, Thank you very much for this important input!!! Both you and Dave are "required reading". When we "Re-home" even a 'Keet, we have a video and "no-no/care briefing. I can show you "Sad" right in my home,I get tears each time I look at some of are birds... Jay... Karma to you Dan

This is really good, a karma to you, and a sticky....{Feel-good-000200A1}

What a good looking bird, as Katana said you gave the right aloe and are doing great. It's nice to have so many helpful people......

Glad to have you back, hope your trip was safe and relaxing Amazons rule....B)

It's nice to see all the good advice. You can always count on Dave...You have to be calm, your grey can since you stress, your doing what you should and it all takes time...Here's a photo of our Freddy, almost same story as yours, 17 years old. [not a grey, just example...]Karma to you <br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/01/06 15:11

That's great,you might want to try Zupreem Garden Goodness, it takes time...If it's Aloe juice, don't dilute, dilute straight aloe with distilled water, 1 to 1..... Jay

To start with, stick with the natural pellets, read the posts in "Bird Foods". Get some "Aloe Vera Juice" and soak him 2 times a week, Bathe him once a week[soak,no drafts]. Feed fresh veggies! especially those that contribute to a anti inflammatory diet: kale, beet greens, dandelion greens, carrots, collard greens, sweet potatoes, sugar snap peas, cooked chicken,green beans, cooked egg's with shells,almonds,cantaloupe, chick peas, lentils[cook the beans]. His diet should consist of about 35% of veggies. PM Dave007, ask for his advice!!It's a long hard road, love love love... Karma<br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/01/06 05:04

Greetings: How old is Francis? Have you taken him to a vet to see if there is a medical basis for the plucking? Is your home high temp/low humidity? Are you bathing him regularly? There is so many possibilities... To start, post a response to these questions. We have 2 pluckers ourselves and I know it can be discouraging and frustrating.
