Ahhhhh. An Orange Wing. These birds are so under rated. They are very plentiful and because of this many people did not breed them since it was cheaper to get a wild-capture one than feed a pair for a year. For years I heard Orange Wings were not good talkers. Many years ago I had a friend that used to climb the palm trees and catch parrots for his grandma in Colombia, South America. He went home for a visit and brought me two wild-captured males...about a year old. (Yes, they had all their legal papers). What a delight these two boys were. They were completely hand tame in a week. They remained sweet and gentle even when later put in a breeding situation. The one was smart as a whip and could unlock any cage. Not only would he let himself out, but all my other birds as well. He was sold to a large breeder and you guessed it, he unlocked all the cages and every one was liberated. (Thank heavens they were in an enclosed building). Any way, they were real. sweeties and very pretty. I sold them to a person that had pet African Greys. These two Orange Wings out talked her mature greys. I sold them because my husband could not take the pitch of their scream. Since he was very good about all the other Amazons screaming I decided it would be better for all concerned to get these boys to another home. I did not want them to leave my house until I had worked with them a bit. They quickly caught on to any trick I tried teaching them and were very clear talkers that would talk in front of anyone. My Nape TJ still calls for the one Orange Wing and he left our home nearly 15 years ago. I had no idea he liked "Pickles" at all. TJ tells me that "Pickles is a very good boy".

Some speak wonderfully, others not so well or not at all. It is all up to the individual bird. Yes, my avatar pic is a photo of my OWA, Willow.

I understood her completely! She was the sweetest natured Amazon I ever crossed paths with. She is sadly missed.
