562.0. "red lore or yellow-cheeked amazon" by AIRG::TINA () Fri Jun 07 1991 10:54

    
    i did it! i did it!  
    
    this weekend i was told that my horse was on the disabled list for
    the rest of his life -- that he could only go on short, non-exerting
    rides.  after being use to riding for several hours per ride more often
    than not per week i was horrified because i didn't know what i was
    going to do with myself.  BUT I DO NOW!
    
    i bought a red lore or (lord) amazon baby last night.  he is only 8
    weeks old and will not be ready to leave for a while (right around my
    birthday!).  i want to get him home asap though so i can spoon feed him
    and he can get use to my home and hubbie and me!
    
    thanks to all you notes i realized that a too wasn't for me, but that
    an amazon seemed to fit more into my family style.  does anybody have
    one?  can you tell me about your red lore amazon....yellow-cheeked
    amazon?

    Hi, congragulations....I have a red lored amazon named Marley
    and he is really a character..He was my first bird and have had
    him now for about 4 yrs...He does not have a good a vocabulary
    as his buddy Paco the yellow nape, but he says a lot and knows
    a few songs...He loves showers and loves to watch tv, sesame st.
    is his favorite...and he loves reggae music...
    Let me know if you would like to know more...I love to talk about
    the kids..

562.3Attilio!AIRG::TINATue Jun 11 1991 11:086
    
    I found a name for my bird Attilio!
    My cousin is out from Australia with his friend Attilio.
    As he introduced me, I said, "What a GREAT name for my new bird.".
