Can anyone tell me how to post a pic of my bird? I've used the upload attachment at the bottom of the page but it is not uploading??

They dont work well. Upload the picture to flickr, picasa or the like, and then put the url for the pic between the [img]url[/img] .

Aww, I really like the first photo. Parrot looks so happy. Never really regarded an Amazon as cuddly.

aww I have had rodney a month and every evening before bedtime we have a cuddle and a scratch he really does like nothing better, and now he even groans/mutters/purrs when I stroke him..at this moment he is falling asleep on my chair while i type one handed so he can have a stroke before bed...I vote that the amazons are cuddly. x.

I suppose amazons can be cudly for the one person they tolerate if conditioned well enough.

Are you kidding? Stitch is the biggest cuddlebug there is, he loves to be scratched, sometimes for an hour! Amazons can defiantly be cuddly!

Those scars on your hands tell a different story.

Dorp... No offense, but regardless of what bird or how long they have been with you, once in a while I guess we are all going to get bitten, yes we can minimize the risks but occasionally it occurs. Guess like being scrammed by a cat or bitten by a dog.. This doesn't stop them being loving and 'cuddly' though a nd I guess from the forum that responsible bird owners take this on board before getting one...I know I will still love rodney even if I get scarred..will just take a bit more patience and training
