Miniwhinny Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 After a lot of heartache I have decided to sell one of my beloved parrots. "Bubba" is a hand raised 6 year old Amazon. Very friendly, awesome coloring, healthy, happy well adjusted bird. He/she (never sexed but I think because of her gentle nature that it's a girl) Yellow cheeks (a.k.a. Red Lored Amazons) are not known to be great talkers but Bubba does talk a bit. Clucks like a chicken, barks like a dog, says "fat Chicken, Hello, Coming out, come here, I love you, Bubba, Here kittty, kitty, kitty. Step up"...some other things too just can't think of what. She's always been fed premium pelleted food, seeds, nuts, fruit and veggies. Has only had one owner since a hatchling (me) The only thing she needs is her beak trimming (can be done with a dremel) She is missing the very end of one toe...it doesn't slow her down at all. Last summer my other parrot bit it off !!! They don't get along which is why I have sadly decided to part with Bubba. I'm asking $500 or $650 if you want her cage too. The cage is white powder coated and is 2' wide, 22" deep and 4' tall. We're located in Redmond, Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Lowman will be responding soon, no doubt. He does know his birds. Beautiful parrot, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miniwhinny Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks, she is beautiful. In the sunlight her feathers really are that irridescent. When she opens her wings she has blue and red feathers in there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miniwhinny Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Spring special pricing... Dropping the price on Bub to $350 INCLUDING cage (that's less than most cages cost new) This is a really sweet bird who really needs some good lovin'.

albertareef Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Beautiful bird! Sorry to hear you have to part with him/her. I would love to bring them home but just can't take on another pet these days. Best of luck finding a new home for Bubba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miniwhinny Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Yup 50 years ! My now 15 year old is inline for the African Gray . In the grand scheme of things Bub is just a babe still. JFYI - Bubba has always had access to pellets as part of her diet - Zupreem - (think I spelled that right) and she drinks from a water bottle - keeps the water cleaner than in a bowl. She's really well adjusted (unlike the gray which is part of the problem) Bubba is happy if you take her out every day and equally as happy if you're busy and she doesn't get out for weeks. She is in full feather and has never plucked once. She's also in great health. EDITED to say that Bubba has SOLD to a great family. Thanks to everyone who showed interest.
