We're In Love


We've seen and handled a lot of parrots in the past but we have one in the house now that we've fallen in love with. "She" is a Yellow Nape Amazon...eight weeks old...with the biggest, brownest eyes that just say, "give me a hug". She is going to be a big bird. At eight weeks she already weighs 540 grams which is 20% more than a mature Eclectus. Yellow Nape females are supposed to be more gentle as adults than males. They also cost more from some breeders. We will most probably DNA her in the near future but, as gentle as she is, we can't picture her as anything but female. The photo above is not our baby, just borrowed it for this post.
