Elena,
D is a Red Lored Amazon. We adopted "her" last March from a rescue in Atlanta. She is at least 15 years old. She came to the rescue very sick with Aspergillosis. She stayed at the rescue for about 5 years, I think. They thought "she" was a "he" and named her Duke and put her in an aviary with other Red Lored's.(Obviously after she was treated and no longer sick) Things went from bad to worse and she got the reputation for being very very loud. At some point they did a DNA test and found that she was female but they continued to call her Duke. Once we adopted her, I felt she was too petite and sweet to have a boy's name, so we shortened it to D. D does not talk and prefers not to be petted but she will step up to just about anybody.
What type Amazon is Horacio?
Here's D's close up.
