Willow is an awesome name for a girl. I wish I could be so creative with names.

What a beautiful name. I don't know whether this is true or not but someone said that Amazons often bond with a person of the opposite sex. Although this might endear her to your husband, which might be useful, is this true? There are a lot of old wives tales out there (no offense to old wives...I just couldn't think of another expression).

I know of two female Amazons that are very bonded to their female owners, even though a husband, also, lives within the household. I also knew of a male Amazon that preferred men because he was raised by a man who gave him a lot of attention, and the wife didn't - so much. He was only three month's old, but preferred men. He came to live with a woman without a spouse, so adjusted after a short time.

Sometimes, I think it depends on the individual bird.

It may not be true of all Amazons but it is beyond true in our house. I do everything for Jezzabelle and she is still over the moon for DH. She will choose Jacob everytime. She will pick him over me even if I am offering her food.

But just to be safe and improve the odds of the bird loving me we are getting a boy next time.
