Hi, i just recieved my new baby Girl!! I named her "Zoe" and she is quite the cheeky little parrot. She was hatched in late june of this year. The vet gave her a very good bill of health and he was very impressed with how well behaved she was. She stepping up already pretty well and is already trying to speak. I catch her practicing "words". She is very mischievious and that is very charming to me. I have hwe in a 3 by 3 by 3 foot cage with a playpen on top. I got a a lot of toys , no plastic ones, and untill i start back to work again, i spend a lot of time with her.She will live in my bedroom. She is eating very well. I switched her to Hagen pellets which took me 2 days. She was eating Kaytee brand, which i am sure is decent food, but a breeder told me that the Hagen is the very very best. She eats a lot of different greens, likes kidney beans, and other fruits although i can tell she hasent been exsposed to a lot of them. I give her a lot of different things cept absoululty no meat!!!

Considering i have had her week she is an absoulute doll Baby as far as getting her to eat.Like typical amazons, she lets ME know she wants attention and when she come over to my bed to "hang out" she purrs like a Cat. Amazons are a lot like cats in that 'They" decide when they want attention and i never Force myself on her unless its for her own safety. She gets a shower every other day and she does not mind the hair dryer one bit. I would like any advice anyone could give and i will post pictures soon.. Take care all !!!
