I never liked Amazon's much...they have a unique way of seducing you in for a scratch on the head, making you think they are all lovey-dovey & wham! No warning, just a chunk of your flesh missing. Guess I should say I never met one I liked, there might be some nice ones out there. The things I mentioned in the previous post are 100 times worse in Amazons, and they are much sneakier about their bites. Most birds give clues that let you know you will get bitten if you get too close, Amazons don't give you much warning.
The tail-flare/eye dialation that warns of a bite, is also the same activity that says, "Hey...I like you...c'mere!"
Like I said there might be nice ones out there...I'd be willing to bet they aren't sexually mature yet...lol. I have found them to be on the top of the charts for extreme emotional behavior.
Or perhaps, all that I met, knew I didn't like em much...who knows...lol.
