Sadly, her prior owners could no longer care for her. 

 

Max has been doing very well in foster, especially considering the change in environment and having met new people to coexist with 

 

Max is boisterous and very comical and absolutely loves morning greetings- so much so that she will greet you as soon as you enter the room in the morning and ask you to say good morning to her. 

Max has a very vast vocabulary and lives to play peek-a-boo.
She enjoys human interaction immensely.

 

Out-of-cage time is significant and is something she truly enjoys!

She steps up and allows short periods of head scratching.

She seems to be indifferent to the other large birds in the house but does have an issue if 
They try to come over to her cage.

She was also in a house with a couple of dogs, but did not like them much ;)

 

Max is currently exploring a new and healthier diet including pellets, fruits, some vegetables and egg whites, as she was primarily on an all-seed diet most of his life. 

 

As with many Amazons, Max does have her temperamental boundaries, and she is quite territorial over her cage. 

She is just starting to learn the prompt no biting, and a small perch is used to distract her while her cage is being cleaned up.

Being territorial, she is very capable of biting at this time.

This is a small part of Max's personality, and she is making progress with corrections.

 

Max has been vetted and disease-tested.

 

 

Educating potential adopters and the public is essential to reducing the problem of unwanted birds being kept in captivity and providing those birds living in homes with the best lives possible.
