Hi All, so iv rehome a 28 year old blue fronted amazon! And he (don't even know if its a male but according to previous owner he is) and he is extremely aggressive. I don't think hes ever been let out of his cage before hes barely mobile. He sits and sleeps in one place most of the day. He barely comes out the cage unless I'm cooking he tends to want whats for dinner otherwise that's the most u hear from him. He doesn't whistle or chirp or make a peep. Iv done so much research on how to tame an amazon and to be able to do just the first approach is almost impossible. I really don't know what to do.... any suggestions? I really don't think hes been looked after and hasn't had a good life and been given any love. And I'm not used to having a bird i cant even touch let alone hear it even make a noise. My heart aches for him... I'm just dying to touch him and stroke him. He just doesn't know whats good for him
This is the first time iv rehomed a bird at this age, 28 years is a long time. Iv always had birds from baby, either just weaned or hand reared myself. I just feel so sorry for this bird and wanted to give him a chance. His cage smells of cigarette smoke, he has pinned feathers on his head and a missing nail/toe. He didn't even have food in his bowl or water, no paper at the base of his cage. U could see his cage had never been cleaned either
