Tuffy is a 27 year old male Yellow-nape. He can be super snuggly when he has you alone, but like most amazons there is the occasional oops bite. He becomes aggressive when he is around other birds so he will need to be in a single bird home. Tuffy is very territorial of his cage.

Hercules is a 35 year old male Orange wing. He isn’t interested in being held on a hand, but will step onto a stick. He would rather sit aside and listen to you sing/talk. In a single bird home, he may open up a bit more. He has some vision loss, as well as a skin irritation on his rump. He has arthritis, so rope perches are best for him. Herky may look like an old man, but he’s got some real spunk in his step at times.

Tico is a suspected wildcaught bird, acquired 35 years ago. We know he doesn’t like men and is pretty wild with anybody else, though he was friendly with his female owner. He will want somebody experienced in amazons to tame him down. Tico enjoys pets and singing with people he likes. We aren’t sure if he can step on a stick-his feet aren’t in great shape (missing toes, arthritis).

Unfortunately we discovered through repetitive bloodwork that Tico has a progressive liver condition. Invasive procedures would not likely change his prognosis so he is on supportive care with daily medications and a strict diet. Tico takes his meds very happily each day on a piece of bread. He could be adopted by somebody medically savvy (or at least very willing to learn) and someone who wants to give him the best, most comfortable time he has left.

Bogie is a 23 year old male Double Yellowhead. He hates all women, and likes some men. Other people work him up, but when he is alone he likes to spend time “cuddling” with his favorite man. He is placed in this category because, despite occasionally enjoying pets, he is still a very advanced bird to handle.

Elvis is a male blue-front of unknown age. He is a wildcaught bird as well, and is handicapped. He has severe arthritis in his feet from improper caging in his previous homes and as a result will require a handicapped accessible cage with platforms and soft rope perches. Elvis is a special bird, because he survived two major parrot rescue collapses/neglect seizures. He’s here for a reason and we want someone really committed to giving this old man a safe home.

Kilgore is a male Blue-front of unknown age. He is wildcaught, would prefer to stay wild, and we are okay with that. He needs a look-don’t-touch home…someone who will care for him, feed him grapes, and talk to him without touching. Kilgore LOVES his baths.

Papa is a male Blue front, at least 30 years old. He is wildcaught and wants to stay wild. He talks to the other amazons, but would prefer to be left alone and be a look-don’t-touch bird.
