Amazon - Large - Adult - Female - Bird - Ginger
Description
Ginger is a 16-17 year old Yellow Naped Amazon. She is a teenager for an Amazon & she acts like it. Ginger came to the haven with her cagemate, Fred. Fred has since been placed, which is good for Ginger because he wouldn't allow anyone to get close to her. Ginger has had two different ownersduring her life- the last owner for 11-12 years. Job responsibilities have changed causing them to be placed at the Haven. Ginger is handleable. She is quite a clown and loves to hang upside down. She is a real cutie... very animated and comical. She talks all the time... both understandible vocabulary or just mumbling to be making noise... she just enjoys hearing herself talk. . She definately has the teenager "energy". Ginger is very gentle and loving to those she likes, but does pick her favorites. She has a plucking issue- although she isn't totally bare. She for some reason enjoys keeping the feathers on her belly as "fuzz" and not complete feathers. This definately doesn't take away from her spirit. Ginger will do well in a home where there are other birds because she seems to "play off of" the flock. She does however need plenty of attention- so only needs to be a member of a home where there are one or possibly two other birds.... that's all. VOCABULARY wowowowow, wolf whistle, hello, rooster call, go away-go away, Laurie and she makes a fan sound.
