Because of Cricket I read all I can about amazons as a species and it appears to me that amazons have a life cycle that they all seem to follow when it comes to their hormonal behavior in their mating season. It appears to me from what I have read that from birth to about 5 years old they are great companions. It`s that 5 years to about 12 years that their hormons and aggression kicks in and that is when most amazons are rehomed. After about 12 years they mellow out and again they are great companions. I am not saying that the hormons stop but the behavior is not as drastic and it`s easer to live with. Cricket has a past of aggression to people and birde alike, but she was 12 when we rehomed her. Nobody wanted her and my wife and I took her in with no expectations and she suprised us and is an interlocked part of our family. If you are thinking about a zon an older rehome may be the way to go because the hormone years have past and they seem to mellow out as they get older. P.S. Cricket sat on my shoulder as I typed this thread like a good zon should.

Cricket keeps her cage very neat and will poop in one spot in her cage. She will dip her pellets in the water when she eats them.

Falling in love with a amazon is a natural thing. Pictures please !!! PS see you in the rescue room

Spartan looks great !!

luvparrots, I have read a number of things by Joanie Doss and abuot Joanie Doss and her Amazons and the training for her shows. Good read.

Cricket is a BFA and a female so this may be why she is so sweet and she also is around 16 years old so she is kind of past the bad part of the hormonal state. We have had her for over 3 years, but she does have a history of aggression in the home she was in before us.

Chili looks great and yes I to beleve zons get a bad rap. After having Cricket I lost my fear of amazons and she has turned out to be my gentle little girl and I love her with all my heart.

Hi cheribirdtx and Mozart and welcome to the grey forum. Is Mozart your first grey or first parrot ?? How old is he and we love pictures.

That would be good for Cricket because walking and climbing is her main mode of transportation.
