I think some changes would help. First, his cage isn't really big enough. He would benefit from a larger cage he really needs some toys to play with and destroy. He is a beautiful healthy bird. My YNA hates having fingers waved at him and it's a sure way to get him wound up and aggressive. Not a good move with an amazon! They hate being teased!
My Amazon, when he was given to me in the 1990s, was in a cage about the size of Charlie’s. I immediately went out and spent a fortune on a huge cage. And toys. Only to watch him sit on his perch and not utilize any of the extra space, or play with most of the toys. For decades. I’m not saying people should put their birds in tiny cages, and I agree Charlie might need one at least a little bigger, but sometimes it depends on the activity level of the bird. My issue here is having the kitty litter right next to the bird cage. Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems, and dust from kitty litter, and all the bacteria in it, since it’s actually a toilet for cats, is very bad. Also, it kind of looks like Charlie here is off in a side room somewhere. He should be in the main part of the house where the family is.
Please don't tease Charlie! No one likes to be teased and poked at. He and scratch are appreciated but not teasing he also really needs some toys. They are smart and need to have things to explore and chew!
That is a lie go away don't be so stupid. I've had my Amazon parrot for years and it is not true at all. You are making out parrots are perverts They are not. Nature is not a pervert. Revolting people are perverts . Ask yourself why. We do know by the way. Parrots bite perverts they don't get "hormonal' over them.
Wow! Mine will be 40 next year. I have had him for 33 years, I’m his 3rd owner. He was wild caught in the 1980s, then imported, when they still did that. I’ve read that wild caught birds tend to live longer. Coming from wild stock, and healthy parents who lived long enough to breed, then surviving being taken from their nest and the importation process - well, only the strongest birds with good healthy genes survive all that, so they tend to be the birds who also live the longest in captivity. If anything happens to me, my 17 year old niece wants mine.
I can see from the food bowl that you need to change its diet ASAP! It needs to be on a pellet food (like Harrison's or something similar). A seed diet is VERY bad for an Amazon as the fat in it damages their liver.
Harrison's is bad as well. It is full of fillers and seeds, which should only be a minor part of the diet. Too many seeds, nuts, and fruit in their diet can lead to fatty liver disease and obesity.
@@scottgulland8827 this is from my personal research. I'm not experienced in the avian field, so I don't really know. But this is just my personal opinion. I see birds do better on pellets that don't have seeds and fillers.
@@warlock8480 Harrison's is HIGHLY recommended by board certified vets in avian medicine. It does not have seeds in it. My amazon ate it for more than 35 years. Of course you should also be feeding your amazon vegies and fruit in addition to the pellets.
I will keep this in mind, however the fact that is has peanuts and sunflower kernels bothers me. I intend on using seeds and nuts as treats and rewards for training.
NEVER…move your hand or fingers around their face. …and they ie softer soothing voices…also never punish them…remember they are little birds…not a kid…
How old is Charlie? Guys please leave the owner alone sometimes u are new to bringing up bird he will learn after reading everyone's comments don't b hard on him he surely loves his bird ❤
Our family has had Charlie for 47 years. He may be a little or a lot older. We found him hanging out with the chickens in the chicken coop way back in 1976.
Wowww!! And people have the cheek to advice you 🙄 some people are really rude, my African grey is 8 he doesn't play with toys at all, I have an Amazon too he is only 7 months old
Bird safe wood…bird safe rope…acrylics…blocks bird safe. I shop at a very reliable bird shop…oh chain …not skinny chain…Amazon size…quick links….extra turn so they stay closed…
Hey, Have you ever tried feeding a pellet diet for Charlie? My Amazon Audi really likes the Roudybush pellets and I save the seeds for treats. This food will ensure that Charlie is getting proper nutrition. Sadly the thing about Amazons is, unless you’re actively engaged with the bird it will never bond with you. You have to spend a lot of hours standing in front of the cage talking and singing to them to build the trust. Has your wife tried playing RUclips videos for Charlie? Audi loves them so much. I don’t agree when people say that Amazons will only bond with one person. It’s just not true. I don’t blame your wife for being afraid, Amazons can give you a very nasty bite. I think your bird is a female. I’ve had Audi for 13 years and she’s never laid an egg and I had her DNA tested when I adopted her when she was two years old. She’s really cute, looks very much like Audi except Audi has a bit more blue on her head. I use this food and the Roudybush California blend.

I agree...my 30 y.o. Blue Front gets Roudybush maintanence for seniors along with Bird Street Bistro organic food. No seeds at all,a nutraberry for treat and fruits/veggies
Why do you think Charlie is a female? Her diet should mainly be fresh vegetables and a little fruits, then pellets as a supplement - rather than just pellets...
you have to be gentle and sweet with your parrot. They're not dogs. This is a completely different creature. I hope you no longer treat your bird this poorly and have learned from other people's comments this is improper treatment to this beautiful animal. And he's a sweet bird too. It's a shame you are turning him into an aggressive bird.
My Blue-front Amazon is 23 years old and she can be moody, very moody! One minute she wants to be scratched and two minutes later she'll rip your hand off. I walk away when she is nasty . . . like a time-out for a temper tantrum 3 year old. She does like being able to see us all the time though; must a be insecurity thing. We do play You Tube videos for her all the time though and she does like them.
I have a male blue front that would love to hook up with your blue front. My Alix is very sweet with other birds and needs a friend. Email me. bagsmoney470@gmail
He is so adorable and lovely...think I would reconsider the cat...they AWAYS......get the bird.be very careful...the bird is too beautiful to have a cat rip him to pieces in pain....please.
He is very beautiful….but please consider another spot for him, or move the kitty litter to another place. Birds have extremely sensitive respiratory systems. Kitty litter puts dust particles into the air, not healthy for Charlie to be breathing that in at all. And, considering the kitty litter is your cat’s toilet, that dust in the air is not exactly clean. Think about it…would you want to live, sleep, eat, right next to a kitty litter box? Also, and I probably already know the answer to this….but it looks like he is off in a room you all don’t really use that much. He would probably be much mush happier in the parts of the house that you do use. Most people don’t want to do this because of the mess, but birds want to be with their flock. That is why he talks more when you leave the room, he is trying to get you to come back.
I really don’t know that we should be moving animals from their natural environments to areas that they are not used to like colder areas from tropical areas.
Cat fur can kill birds. It’s transmitted through the fur. If you love your bird. Rehome the cat……cats adapt way easier than birds. The birds form relationships…talk to you…miss you….please consider this….❤❤❤…beautiful bird…love him ❤❤❤❤❤.
Be careful…the plastic things hanging there…he could hang in them.Zons need acrylic hoops..way big so their head comes in and out freely…Oh God protect this sweet bird in this home with it’s enemy…the cat…..never ever ever would I do that to my precious birds. Please don’t post if he gets killed…that’s cruel….
Hey guys- I’m wondering which bird I should get... a blue fronted amazon or a Soloman Island Eclectus. Don’t worry, I’ve owned parrots before and researched a lot. I just cant think of which I should get and I’m thinking only one of them. So which do you think? Points: I have other birds I’ll let him fly around outside (looking for a male) Will take him on walks of course He won’t be free roamed and will have a cage though (large) Will have plenty of toys, interaction etc (to where there is a limit though!) And more... I’m hoping he will get along with my other birds (each bird is individual though so we don’t know what he will think of them) Well... any ideas?
Eclectus parrots r more affectionate than blue fronts. My amazon talks more but also screams more. I love both of them, only get one. My eclectus is female & amazon is male.
Where are his toys.rember they are in the cage a lot and need SAFE toys to interact with. Wood ... acrylics...ropes... block's ... Chains...all birds need approved toys ...uh...no lotion...heard that...no people crap...oils...scents...on skin...not safe
Yes he’s cute but he will kill your bird..I’d be making a decision fast…unless you don’t mind. Please make the right decision…that bird is helpless around the cat. Ask my daughter what happened to her little bird being in the house with it’s worst enemy..please do the right thing.we are supposed to protect them…not bring the enemy in…please !!! God bless….
Sooo precious…love him saying pretty bird….God bless…❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

The cage shown in this video is really only big enough for a bird half Charlie’s size.
poking and waving fingers at any bird is bad not just an amazon.

I think he is so sweet. God bless.❤❤❤.
He’s so very sweet and beautiful….love you sweetie ! God bless you….❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
Please don't tease Charlie! No one likes to be teased and poked at. He and scratch are appreciated but not teasing he also really needs some toys. They are smart and need to have things to explore and chew!
Don't tease my charlie the blue headed amazon too I have a pet called charlie
bro please stfu the bird is completely fine
You can tell you no nothing about parrots. He has no toys in his cage for him to play with or chew on. They need to be kept busy.
Kathy Saho he has more than one cage
@@boompowzap Then put things in them.
Kathy Saho I think this cage was brand new. There are things in it now. Toys
I wouldn't recommend petting anywhere other than the head and neck area. It can cause hormonal issues in the bird!
That is a lie go away don't be so stupid. I've had my Amazon parrot for years and it is not true at all. You are making out parrots are perverts They are not. Nature is not a pervert. Revolting people are perverts . Ask yourself why. We do know by the way. Parrots bite perverts they don't get "hormonal' over them.
I love the format of your video..just plain ol bird life. I like it!
I have a Amazon that is 97 years
WOW! How many owners has she had? Do you know for sure that she is that old? Would have been so much fun to see a video of the old lady! 👏👏👏👍❤️
Ye she is quite grumpy
Wow! Mine will be 40 next year. I have had him for 33 years, I’m his 3rd owner. He was wild caught in the 1980s, then imported, when they still did that.

Would you please find a bigger cage for Charlie? ❤😰😓😣💔
Maybe its only a sleep cage
jen m because my parrot cage is average size but from 4pm to 11pm he roams freely on his play stand
He’s so cuuuteee. 😜💕💕
Does he have plenty of bird safe toys to play with any time he wants? It’s their nature to play…chew…etc…
that cage is way too small.
He has many cages all over their house (seem to remember 7). His main ones are bigger.
Birds like 🎶 I LIKE HIS 😂

@@warlock8480 Oh is that why multiple vets with avian specialties recommend it and carry it in their offices. I think you are misinformed.

Poor bird, the owner obviously is clueless as to bird body language and seems to be antagonizing the poor guy.
I saw in another comment the owner responded he had the parrot for 47 years.

HELLO BIRDIE PRETTY BIRD,ROCK N ROLL 🐦
Cage looks like a ….go to the vet cage…..
He is so adorable and lovely...think I would reconsider the cat...they AWAYS......get the bird.be very careful...the bird is too beautiful to have a cat rip him to pieces in pain....please.

No toys in the cage😟
Important….three kinds of Amazon perches…THEIR…size… o skinny dowels….
Not skinny dowels…
sooooo ooo cute

Hey guys- I’m wondering which bird I should get... a blue fronted amazon or a Soloman Island Eclectus. Don’t worry, I’ve owned parrots before and researched a lot. I just cant think of which I should get and I’m thinking only one of them. So which do you think?
Points:
I have other birds
I’ll let him fly around outside (looking for a male)
Will take him on walks of course
He won’t be free roamed and will have a cage though (large)
Will have plenty of toys, interaction etc (to where there is a limit though!)
And more...
I’m hoping he will get along with my other birds (each bird is individual though so we don’t know what he will think of them)
Well... any ideas?
Eclectus parrots r more affectionate than blue fronts. My amazon talks more but also screams more. I love both of them, only get one. My eclectus is female & amazon is male.
get whatever bird suits u good luck
Don't choose the bird....let the bird choose YOU! Birds usually get along better if they're a similar size.
Blue front
Get the one that comes up to you.the bird should pick its owner. You know then the bird loves u!
Breaks my heart when people mix little birds with worst enemies….please don’t post when it happens….by the way…such a sweet bird !
Maybe he’s not used to your environment.
Where are his toys.rember they are in the cage a lot and need SAFE toys to interact with. Wood ... acrylics...ropes... block's ... Chains...all birds need approved toys ...uh...no lotion...heard that...no people crap...oils...scents...on skin...not safe
Poor bird. I want to take the owner and throw him out the window
Chsrlievis welcome to
Yes he’s cute but he will kill your bird..I’d be making a decision fast…unless you don’t mind. Please make the right decision…that bird is helpless around the cat. Ask my daughter what happened to her little bird being in the house with it’s worst enemy..please do the right thing.we are supposed to protect them…not bring the enemy in…please !!! God bless….
This guy is so annoying
Another person who shouldnt own a parrot
