@ishymanz

yep, he's a yellow crowned amazon alright. Yellow napes are really rare in captivity in Australia, as are yellow crowns, but had I been sold a yellow nape by accident, the breeder would of lost around $4000!

Hi - Cool video! How old is your Amazon? Thanks!

[scottohara78]

Hi, thanks, he turned two last october, but he was around 9 months old at the time when that video was recorded.

what seed do you feed him and did you use clicker too?

[scottohara78]

for training i use sunflower, pine nuts, bits of peanuts or bits of almond, they are mixed so it is exciting for him, as a result of not knowing what he is going to get. I dont use a clicker but just say "Good" instead. I find it just as affective a bridge and I always have it handy.
