Ruby - 2010-11-06 My blue fronted Amazon is named Zachary. He is quite a character. Zachary has been under my care for almost 3 years. His first two winters with me, Zachary has been brought inside. I'm wondering if this is necessary? I prefer to keep him outside because he doesn't like my boyfriend. I live in California and I think the coldest temperature here in winter is around 30 degrees Fahrenheit. How cold is too cold for the bird? Somebody Help.

M - 2010-11-19 These are TROPICAL birds. When you hear the word TROPICAL what do you think? Warm! Even 60 degrees can be a bit chilly for these birds. They also need humidity. Please, for the sake of your bird, do some research, it's not that hard!

Ruby - 2010-11-06 I have a BF Amazon named Zachary. He has been under my care for two years going on three. The first two winters he has been brought inside but this year we want to try keeping him outside. I have a question, how cold is too cold for Zachary to stay outside? We live in San Jose, California and I think the coldest it gets here is around 30 degrees farenheit. Please help. I'm very worried. He likes being loud so this is why we can't keep him inside.
Janet - 2010-11-06 Also barbara: my name is janet I comment on hawkeye my mom's bird and I don't know if I'll ever see this site again just surfing web trying to find out if there's any way we can tell the age of this blue fronted amazon without taking to vet or paying for the advice............since I don't know how I stumbled upon this site please email me at spunkymissy@yahoo.com if you can help. Thanks.
Janet - 2010-11-06 Hello barbara: I picked you to comment to due to your name; my mom, barbara has a blue fronted amazon parrot I know he's at least 20+ yrs old; only because he's been in family that long was my uncle's bird and they had him when his son was a little tyke.........now grown young man. My mom has had him last 10 yrs and she is wondering how to find out how old he (Hawkeye, is his name) is? Do you know or do you have any sites to suggest that will help me find out? There has got to be some way of estimating it; for example: I know for a fact you can estimate a horses age by looking into their mouth at their teeth. Is there any suggestions here on finding out how old this bird actually is? By the way he's a good bird, and my uncle was a trucker and took him and his dog with him on the big truck during week while working the reason he gave Hawkeye to my parents was afraid the bird would cuss the cops out if he ever got stopped...........yes Hawkeye does cuss......and laugh a lot.
leslie - 2010-10-30 I have adopted a blue fronted amazon about a week ago and he seems to be untamed and have not vocabulary what so ever. It doesnt sound like he even knows how to whistle. He always makes the same sound. He is 7 years old and I am working on building trust with him. He does take treats from my hand and comes to me when he knows he's about to get one. What I want to know is if anyone else has experienced something similar as far as with age and untamed and where they possible to tame him and get him to talk since he is already 7.

Editor's Note - 2010-10-31 Congrats on your new bird. Amazon's have a great memory, so it will definitely be a time thing to encourage new types of behavior. Sounds like you are off to a good start. Each bird has its own personality and temperament, so there is no definite answer. I'd be patient and keep on working with him, and see what kind of results you get.
Sonny - 2010-10-04 Hi, my name is Sonny. Me and my fiance picked up Belle, a 15 year old BF Amazon about 2 days ago. She is beautiful and you can tell she has a lot of character. The original owner was an older woman who has had her for 13 years. She is still timid about us since we have gotten her, but I am worried that she may not get used to me or like me as much as she might like my fiance. I have had different kinds of parrots such as Conures, Parakeets, and Cockatoos.. and they have all become very attached to me because I was the face to face owner since they were very young. Would anyone know any good ways of getting her to be as happy with me as she would be with my fiance? I'm hoping she accepts me!
Joey - 2010-04-17 My bird has eaten a couple pens, I found him with purple ink all over his beak one day. Will he be ok? I was also looking at his tongue and in the very back where it's hard to see I saw his tongue and there is a huge hole. Is that normal or is there something wrong? He also has a tumor on the side of his face, I worry because I love him so much. He hasn't really had a proper diet and with a tumor how long do you think he will live?

Anonymous - 2010-09-27 Please, please, please take your bird to the vet immediately. With the pen eating, hole on the tongue, and tumor, he needs medical attention. Parrots can be very delicate creatures, treatment and proper diet can add years to your baby's life!
jackson - 2010-01-18 Hi, I have a blue front hen and she is very smart. She can say "hi how are you doing", "hello my name is luna moon and I am a blue fronted amazon parrot", " who's a beautiful bird", and "here comes trouble" whenever I walk into the room. She can also sing you are so beautiful, she can also play basketball, ride a scooter, and the basic things like step up and come when she is called. She is 3 years old and loves apple.

dominique - 2010-09-21 Hi Jackson I also got a blue front amazon I fell in love with one male 15 years ago. He was 3 months old and one day I bought him a girlfriend and from now I breed them but Brazil speak a lot and said hello beautiful would you like to come inside? Would you like to come outside? I love you my darling you are so beautiful thank you mama what a good food! And loves singing and he said one two three bravo what a cleaver boy! He's got a very good vocabulary I got a female also and she is a personality they laugh like a human he got my accent because I am french. A parrot like this can live 100 years old and we must put them on our will. Did you have some baby already? I got two for the moment but it is the first time after each food the oldest vomit one spoon do you think because he loves his food got too much or it is bad he look very happy?
Dianna & Jay - 2005-04-24 Our blue fronted amazon, Pele, was given to us because he was sick but he recovered and has become a very happy and healthy bird. He just turned one year old this month. He knows many words already, most of them things we say to him regularly, like "Step up, come on, step up" when we are having him step up on our arm. He likes to act like a punk sometimes and pretend he is big and tough, but he has a sweet voice and is very lovable and friendly. He also talks in his sleep! He runs through his entire vocabulary and holds conversations every time he takes a nap.

Mary - 2010-09-18 Hi Dianna, your post struck me as I have a baby Blue Front who just turned 3 months old, and when she goes to sleep she talks to herself in her little baby talk. It is so sweet and cute.
angie - 2010-05-26 This year is the second time my blue front amazon laid eggs. First time not one hatch, this yr.one hatch after 30 days and did well for 3 days, then I found it dead. What happened? what could I have done?
Blue Front Amazon is a very outgoing bird, a great performer and loves to talk!
