The Bird / Parrot Lover Resource
AMAZONS
Great large parrots, with the complexity, time commitment that goes with owning a large parrot. People who are either inexperienced or unwilling to spend time on training / socializing a parrot will eventually cause (or allow) the parrot to become very nippy and overly noisy. They learn to talk quite well. I myself never owned an Amazon since I realize that at this point of my life (busy schedule) they are too demanding for me. Although my friends own them, so I know quite a bit about this species of parrot.

The Amazons (in Greek, ) were a mythical ancient nation of all-female warriors. Herodotus placed them in a region bordering Scythia in Sarmatia. The histories and legends in Greek mythology may be inspired by warrior women among the Sarmatians. Amongst the nomadic Sarmatians women fought alongside men defending their villages or families. As far as it can be determined, these were ordinary, child-rearing women, not the muscle-bound man-haters depicted in mythology. An indication of this is that they were always buried alongside their men, so the legend of an all female race is unlikely to be true.
