also have a dna sexed male pionus who is now 5 months old. his name is the general. he is a very mean and aggressive bird.here is his story.
i belong to a bird club in san diego and there was a person who breed pionus or at least had 1 pair that she breed
i liked the woman and placed a deposit with her . big mistake. I went to her house to visit my baby and i got to watch him being handfeed at 2 days old as she had to pull early due to parents not caring for the babies and she had lost one of the babies.
I even got to hold him at 3 days old. Talk about nervous but she showed me how to do it safely. I picked the smaller baby at 3 weeks because it appeared calmer.
one day i get a call from her to pick up my baby. Will although he was eating some he was not fully weaned. . i get there where i discover she had sold my baby and was giving me the bigger one which i was not happy about
i should of backed out right then but she had my money. she went to get the baby and it cringed from her and nipped her.
i thought the breeder was going to kill him. she grabbed him by the neck and i thought she was going to choke him.
at first i did not think the general was going to be a grabbed. when she placed him on grabbed he readily came to me.
i brought him home. he ne never been in a cage before . he was kept in plastic tub. at breeders. it was fun to watch him climb his gage for the first time. it was funny he climb up however he could not get down lol i had to help him every time but within a week he was climbing like a pro
now here the general loll > He mean. he has no fear but is not tame. he will swoop down land on my finger while in cage and bite and not let go. he was completely completely
i been working with him and have the bites to prove it lol. i can still cant get him on finger in his cage but i open his door and he comes out. he will actually fly to the floor next to me( I set on floor when working with him) at first he bite at any attempt to handle him bit he now will get on finger and stay there a few minutes before he begains to bite. he will allow his head to be scratch for a few minutes before he bites but it more then what he would allow me to do then 7 weeks ago when he first came
wow im out of breath lol anyways that my update

Wow.., why in the hell would you buy a bird from a breeder you don't trust?

And why in God's green earth, would you continue on with a bird that supposedly wasn't yours? That is crazy to me!

BTW, Savvy, how many new names are you going to come up with? I'm beginning to lose count of your alters, and the grievances you have against people who have treated you badly!!! Day-um..., sure seems to be like everyone you run into! I am sensing a pattern here...!!!
