Our new OWA rescue

We got a new addition on Saturday. We rescued a orange wing amazon. Sad story. We were at our breeders store getting food and our macaw's wings clipped and this loud lady brought in this orange wing in a carrier and also a cage w/ toys. My wife said she saw our breeder write the lady a check. Later after the lady left we went to tell the breeder by and she and her staff were attempting to get this bird out of the crate. (I thouht it was just there for a wing trim) and she told us that she had just bought the bird. The loud lady told her she needed the money and was selling all her birds. The breeder told us that this lady was bi-polar and treats her birds like crap so she jumped at the chance to get the bird away from her. She told us if we wanted to take the bird it was ours. Long story short we have another bird. His name is "Izzy". He's been great, not as warm and fuzzy as our "murry" but I'm sure he'll be fine in time. Anyway we're just glad we go him into a good home and that our breeder thought enough of us to give him too us. Yes I know you want pics. I'll try.

What big hearts you have for taking in this little guy and I am especially impressed by your breeder who obviously cares a great deal for birds. :)

Izzy is getting along famously. He has become a part of our family very quickly and appears to be very happy. He talks great and appears to have a quite extensive vocabulary. He started out by talking when he thought we weren't around but now he could care less and talks all the time. He still has his moments but I'm more prone to think that these have more to do with the facts that he is an Amazon than anything else.
