My basic info
Here's what the humans have to say about me:
“PETER”
Red Lored Amazon
Hello F.P.R friends, family and visitors. My name is Peter and I am a Red Lored Amazon. I can speak very well… I say “hello”, "Peter", “Peter good boy”, “Peter pretty bird”, “pretty bird”, “Yo”, and whistle different tunes. I whistle for your attention, but if you don’t respond, I will make my birdie noises. I also make very interesting, but funny sounds that will keep you entertained. I have been enjoying my new toys, ladder and perches. I have my own room and love to check out what’s in it. I am a very curious bird, so I look like I’m spying to make sure I don’t miss anything. I really enjoy the company of people, human interaction, cartoons and music. I love when people talk to me in a baby voice, it just tickles me all over and I start entertaining the crowd... and trust me I can entertain you for a long time! When the other birds come to my room I show off to let them know I want to play, but they just stare at me and watch me play with all my toys. When I hear the other birds talking I try to keep up by mocking or whistle. My annual check-up went very well - I’ve been changed from seeds to a pellet diet and took to the change very well, and I eat fruits and vegetables throughout the day. I love being hand-fed different nuts and especially love almonds! If my foster mom would let me eat nuts all day...I would...I go coo coo for nuts:) I like watching what’s happening outside my window and when the sun starts going down and I’m still out of my cage, I will put myself in the cage and close the door for bedtime. I’m a joy to be around, but I don't like people holding me (I cry and try to fly away... unless you have a nut for me). With time and the right person, I will learn to relax when people want to hold me. However, I am in the process of being stick trained. I get along with women, men, children and other birds. So if you have time, patience and want a forever companion, a bundle of entertainment and happiness, come check me out!!!
