I have been watching a Yellow-naped Amazon for this guy, who has come across bad times and has been moving from place to place with his bird, I felt bad for the bird. The saddest part is that the guy's mother, the parrot's owner, passed away. Richie, the parrot, absolutely loves this guy, they grew up together since 1977. The problem is that the guy did not leave the right cage for him. I have let him out, I talk to him all the time (Richie already calls my children like I do). He has bitten me three times, which they bled more than they hurt, but I have been a little afraid to let him out for fear of my little children. I do not know much, except for info from every website I can find. Is there any advise on how to better care for Richie and not be afraid for my children or myself, he is almost 30 yrs. and a very smart parrot, I just have no idea what I am doing and the guy comes over very little. My neighbor has three parrots: a macaw, an african grey, and one more. She has been wonderful, but I was wondering if anyone who owns or has owned a yellow-naped amazon has any detailed information for me or advise. I really want Richie to be happy and live the rest of his life to the fullest and be healthy. Also anyone know of Scaley-face or something like that, a sort of really contageous mite, neighbor thought he may look like he has that.
