OK, I picked general because I know little about Amazons and I assume they are like greys, individual! I'll bet there are a lot of clingy Amazon's out there. That said, I have no experience and little contact with Amazon's!

I pick...not sure, I'm confused by your question...BUT my amazon loves to be with me. She especially loves to perch on my shoulder and talk up a storm when I am in the bathroom!!!! It's like having little kids again...no privacy ever with an amazon, she follows me everywhere I go.

Based on my n=1 sample I voted true. My BFA was far from clingy. My two grey's are closer to clingy than my amazon was and I don't consider them clingy although Greycie is a little moreso.

First thing I say is "What"? I think I finally figured out what this question asks.

 

My answer is A. My zon loves to be in the same room as me. Loves to preen my hair, but I am not to touch him.

I have been looking and looking at Amazons and reading about them and have not every considered them to be clinging as in needing constant reassurance. Also, have been told by the breeders that they like a boisterous busy household and are comedy kings. I don't have any evidence or experience, just guessing from what I have heard.

Katana600,

 

Yes, I agree, you said it perfectly. I think those of us with amazons really mean they are clingy, but more like they just want to be with you. AN amazon wants nothing more than to be chillin and hangin out with you. If they can't, they don't scream for attention, they go off and see what trouble they can get into...or see what funny things they can do. I find my amazon to as Ray says, lives in the moment and accepts whatever the flow is during the day..but LOVES it when you come home and they can stay on your shoulder!
