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.

Pongo is a male blue-front of unknown age, it’s likely he is on the older side though. His partner Nemo needed daily medications and handling, so ended up separated. They have both adapted very well to being apart and they seem to want to stay separated long term.

Pongo is not tame, will step on a stick. He lived in an outside aviary for most of the year in his previous home and really thrives when he has lots of room to climb and fly. He's a fairly laid back bird who doesn't really have much interest in being tame with people. He is very quiet and enjoys being in a home with other birds, though.

Pickles is a 31 year old male Blue-Front Amazon. He was adopted in 2018 after only a week of being here because he was not doing well at the rescue. He came from an awful home originally and was never treated right, which meant Pickles became extremely neurotic. He doesn’t like new toys, perches, and is picky about his food. He has a few things that we know he does well with, but change in general is tough for him. He’s never really been handleable though he likes other birds and learned to eat new foods by watching them. Pickles would be fine for most homes with the understanding that he will only be touched on his terms and his environment will need to remain very stable. He enjoys a scratch on his head, likes to talk, LOVES a warm bath, and will be a great low maintenance companion for other birds.

Biko is an assumed male Yellow-Crowned Amazon around 19 years old. Yellow-crowns aren’t rare, but are certainly a less common species here. They are very similar to Yellow-napes in size and personality. Biko just arrived, and but is pretty adaptable so far. He’s got a lot of potential for handling with care and clearly has a preference for men. We were told he may not want to be handled by women and we don’t believe he will go out of his way to be rude, but he’s decided women are almost always bitten. He is an excellent flier and appears to be in great shape.

Bogey and Papa are two longer term resident male Amazons. Bogey is a 24 year old Double Yellow-Head (tres marias) and Papa is a Blue-Front over 35 years old. They both want to stay wild and have just shacked up with each other, so still trying to figure out the dynamic. They both prefer not to be touched, but Bogey is a bit gentler than Papa since pairing up and can be handled by men only. They’d do best somewhere they can just be watched and live as unhandleable birds.
