Hello all!
I am entertaining the idea of adopting a wild caught Orange Winged Amazon Parrot.
The rescue is not sure on his age, but suspects he is in his 30’s.
He as you would suspect is not hand tame but from what they have told me he is not aggressive.
I am going to meet him this weekend and I am just wondering if anyone has any advice if I was to adopt him, what kinds of things I should do the same or different from a regular hand raised or even parent raised parrot. I also know he is terrified of wooden dowels so learning to step up that way and potentially target training may be out of the question.
I fully understand this guy is going to control our relationship for the most part, I will have to take his lead. He IS a wild animal.
What I am looking for is advice on how to make HIS life the best it can be so I can be his final and forever home where he is comfortable and happy. Also how to care for him in a way that we do not regress(nail trims, cage cleaning, etc).
Thank you!!
