Hello, I brought a orange wing amazon on Sunday.. I brought it from a shop in Birmingham.. At the time they convinced me that they had to take the parrots ring off because it had become to small.. Does this happen? They gave me the ring and i have it here.. I have now noticed that her legs seem to be very chubby and swollen.. Do amazons suffer with leg problems, as i haven't come across this. Although it concerns me it could be bumble foot...
They told me at the time is was 5 1/2 months old...The age on the ring states 2018 and the lady in the shop said she was born 0ct... But this could of been any birds ring, so I am now having terrible doubts.. Is there a way of checking her age?.. Her beak is not black and shiny it looks very scratched up like an older bird.. She is very, very aggressive from fear, she is so frightened of me anyone.. If i go near the cage shes flapping around and growling.. If i cover her cage at night and she see the blanket she totally freaks out, im starting to wondering if shes been toweled handled.. She is eating and drinking ok..
I know this is going to be a long confidence and trust building, im far from even attempting to put my hand in the cage as i went to put i toy in the cage and she was so frightened at me..
I guess i found your forum because i am hoping for some help and advice on where to start with such a fearful amazon
I have never experienced a parrot so fearful of people, its so heart breaking
thankyou
