Two years ago I would never have though of getting a amazon because of their reputation as a hard bird to handle. Well in mid Dec. of 2008 we rehomed a blue fronted amazon from a relitive in central Florida and brough her to north east Ohio.
My first though on the rehome was no, but she needed a home. So in Florida on a visit we took her in baggage and all. I never thuogh that she would be a pet because she was very nasty. So I started to work with her.
Cricket was not what I expected. In 3 months she did a 180 and turned out to be a great member of our family. It took some time and work but I would do it again. It`s good fealing when I can play with her and have a good time.
I gess it`s never give up on a lost cause because you might miss something good.
