Hatch Date: 2006

Olly is a beautiful female Yellow Crowned Amazon.  She is 18 yrs old.  She was believed to be male (previously named Oliver) until she laid an egg 3-4 yrs ago.  She has only laid one egg. 

She is fully flighted, although in the past she was clipped; last time was 3 years ago.  Although she has all her flight feathers, she hasn’t attempted to fly in her foster home so far. 

Unfortunately, her original owner passed away 3 yrs ago and she was left to his daughter.  Although Olly was loved by the family, they didn’t have the time to spend with her.  She spent all of her time in her cage and was away from the main living area. 

Olly likes to dance, especially when she is happy. Her foster dad calls it her happy dance.  She says a few different things I’m Oliver, Hello, and Mom.  She is not a loud bird.  Once in awhile she will loudly call out if there is a loud noise, but she is mostly quiet. 

She shares her foster home with a cat and a Love Bird.  She seems interested in the cat but doesn’t seem aggressive.  She doesn’t pay much attention to the Love Bird.  She is currently in her cage during the day but spends the nights on top of her cage. 

Olly is currently on a seed mix diet and we are working on transitioning her to pellets or something healthier.  She has been eating Nutri-Berries in her foster home and loves them.  She likes whole peanuts as a treat.

Olly has been disease-tested for psittacosis and PBFD.  She is being fostered in Bensalem, PA, and will require three in-person visits before adoption.  We will not ship our birds.
