Starting With the Birds Now - Sam (could be Samantha)

Sam is a double yellow head Amazon parrot.  He is beautiful with his gorgeous yellow head, emerald green feathers with touches of red and blue.  He was a give away - like all my birds.  The people who had him couldn't keep him anymore and so he came to live with me.  It took me three months before I could even rub his head through the bars of his cage.  He is extremely fearful of any man - I think he was mistreated by a man before I got him.  He hates my son, and Ryan has never done anything to hurt or scare him.

Now Sam is My baby.  He calls me "Mother" and loves to play "tickle toes".  He loves fresh fruits and vegetables and really will eat anything we do.  He LOVES pizza and starts dancing on his perch when the pizza delivery guy shows up.  He loves all meat - but no fish.  He loves his bath and will stretch his wings all the way out for me to mist under then.  He "mutters" to himself when he is mad or upset.  he does not like the dogs at all.
