GUAPO is coming home TODAY!!!

I just got a call that they've already packed Guapo, (the neglected,chronic feather-plucking Amazon that had been living in a basement for several years)up and he's waiting for me at work! OMG...I bought his toys already, but I thought it would be at least another week before he'd come home! I haven't even sent his adoption papers back in yet! AND though I've purchased his cage on EBAY, it will still be several days before it comes in!

So, in the meantime, they are letting me borrow the cage he's been using, temporarily.

WOW! I can't believe I'm getting another parrot! I have read up on Amazons, but I'm still not quite certain what to expect from a rescue. I'd be happy to hear any advice you all might have for me!:woohoo:

Me too what she said can't wait to hear how he settles in and see some pics. I've never ever heard of a plucking Amazon they usually aren't plucker. He was abviously neglected and unhappy for a very long time. they are such wonderful birds I can't imagine anyone ignoring or neglecting one Fergie my amazon would not allow me to ignore her she would make such a ruckus. I love playing with her she is just so much fun

Guapo is HOME!!! YIPEE!!! From the time I got him in the carrier to come home, he started saying "Hello!" He won my heart already! As soon as my little girl gets close, he starts whistling and talking to her, too. So I am really hopeful that he will be much happier in our care. I've already taken pictures of him, but I can't find the wires to connect the camera to the computer...so I'll post them later! Thanks for the wonderful support here, I don't know what I'd do without you all!:laugh:

Poor Guapo, who could neglect such a lovely guy. I bet he thinks it's his birthday coming to you for TLC. His lifer is about to begin now for sure. Congratulations to you on getting this great guy, may you have many happy years together.

 

Cant wait to see pics as he develops along with his confidence.

It's so funny, this morning, we heard a little puppy barking, over and over. Only thing is....we don't have a puppy! All the dogs were in my room, and the sound was coming from the other room. It was Guapo, he's learned to "bark" from all the dogs at the shelter! He sounded so cute! And he's picked my Bella (my 7 year old) as his "one and only" love around here. LOL She is THRILLED. She sits and pets him, and talks to him constantly. He "purrs" and whistles for her, bending his head down for more scratches. He even regurgitated for her, she just looked at me with a funny face, holding out her finger and said "Eww, Yuck, Mommy. Look what he gave me!" LOL I explained that meant he likes her very much, and he's trying to share his 'dinner' with her. :laugh: So now she goes around telling everyone that.:P I'm very happy we got him, I think once his large cage comes in, he'll be even happier! What a sweetheart!

I'm so happy to hear Guapo is settling in well - I love a happy ending! Although this isn't the end for Guapo - it's the beginning of the new, happier life he is going to be leading with you. I wish you many happy years with him in your family.

Karma for deciding to take this troubled little lad in and turning his life around.
