BIG bird, noisy bird, colorful bird. The gentleman in Van Nuys had several and lots of infertile eggs, if fact he was a bit frustrated how many he had. Amazons are had to raise, and highly prized. Recently I learned that people are putting them back in the Amazon by taking captive chicks, raising them in very large aviary s in the area and releasing them to the wild. They are magnificent in flight and human are finding out just how tough captivity is on the bird. They need lots of company and companionship or they loose their gorgeous feathers with stress. I adore the bird, but would never own one. But I do appreciate the one egg I have.
