Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Say hello to Zeus the Orange Wing Amazon and his buddy Sam, the Quaker Parrot! Sam and Zeus are bonded and will need to be adopted together. They came out of an emergency situation with several other birds from the same home. The previous owner claimed that Zeus is about 100 years old and that Sam is about 40, however, our veterinarian feels that is very inaccurate and it is more likely that Zeus is about 40 and Sam about 15-20. Zeus has had it very rough. His original owner (not the previous owner) abused him badly and threw him several times, breaking his legs, his wing and damaging an eye to the point of it being lost. Because of these previous old injuries, he moves very slowly and obviously only has one eye. He also does not step up at this time (may be a result not only from being abused previously, but from some pain due to these old injuries). Zeus is also bald on the very top of his head. Despite all that he has been through, he is a very quiet bird who makes pleasant chirping noises and seems very content living in a home with his buddy and with humans. He likes to be bathed and loves his new diet of pellets with lots of veggies and fruits and nuts, he particularly loves bananas! Sam the Quaker has a little bit of cage aggression, but it is easy to work around and once away from the cage, he is very easy to handle. Sam is fully feathered and also loves being bathed and is thrilled with his new diet! He is also a pretty quiet bird as well. These two have come a long way since coming to us and just need a nice quiet home where they can retire to live out the rest of their lives where they can learn to trust again, and be given lots of love and great food!
