Lilacine Amazon

[Demeter]

I just thought I would share a picture with you of a Lilacine Amazon at the birdstore that we go to.....he is very beautiful, and just has the sweetest look about him..He is a little bit of a mess, due to the formula feeding him and his cage mates had just gotten but let me tell you, he is beautiful!!

Just as an added bonus, here are his cage mates.....2(not so nice) blue crowned mealy amazons, who tried to attack me by the way :)...a couple yellow shouldered amazons(only half of one in a pic) and two blue and golds who are super duper sweeties!!

That Mealy looks like he woke up on the wrong side of the perch. What beautiful 'zonnies.

Poor mealies look terrified. I sure wish they could all join my flock!!

Just an update on those mealy's that were so afraid.......over the weekend I was holding the one that does not have the all black beak, and he has turned into a super sweety!!! He just layed in my arms doing the cute baby mealy honk, he is ADORABLE!!!

OMGosh those babies are sooo adorable!! I am so very thankful that I am not around baby zons much!!

I just got my 2nd Lilac Crown 'zon. I got this one to go with the 1st one, of course! They're SO smart! I highly recommend them! They're just as intelligent as any other 'zon and are a bit better tempered, I think, than some. Both of mine are very reluctant to bite or even nip me at all. I even got my older one 23+ yrs old, to wear a harness! (He does nip a bit while I'm putting it on him, I admit.) I think they're fabulous birds! Not all that common either, so if you're wanting one, I'd say snap him/her right up!

Where is the bird store located? I would like to see this bird! Thanks,

This is our Skippy....She'a a Lilac Crown Amazon. So similar to the lilacine other than beak color. She is a real sweetheart that we adopted last July. She is pretty laid back mot of the time. She does get all excited when I come home from work, though. She starts twitching her wings and calling out to me until I come to the room and give her scritches. Age is unknown, but I think she was finishing her first molt when we re-homed her. My wife and I have ben extremely blessed with the birds we've flocked with. They seem to adapt well with us. We got Skippy shortly after our BFA died of cancer. He was a re-homed boy and a great bird as well. Wally

These were taken at Todd Marcus Bird Exotic, which is now located in Delran, New Jersey, near philly. They have already been sold, they were from last years breeding season, but I am sure they will have more this year!! I am looking into a Blue crowned mealy this year
