About
Hello, I'm Pancho, and I'm told I'm a very handsome yellow-naped Amazon. I came to Mickaboo because my companion could no longer care for me. They had me about 15 years and thought I was at least 30. The vet who saw me pointed out that my open band on my ankle indicates that I was wild caught and probably got here in the early 90s at the latest.<br><br> I've settled well into my foster home, where I have a BFF in the form of another amazon. He's been teaching me to fly and be less shy. I love head scratches & visiting with new people. My foster mom says I've been extremely quiet so far. I will call for you if I want attention, though, and even said "hello." I love to hang out on top of my cage, but I am cautious around strange new toys. I love to get rides around on my rolling playstand, and even though I'm very cautious with hands, I move around with ease, including going into my carrier. <br><br> I just love water & bathing outside (while supervised in my cage) with the hummingbirds - you could say we're birds of a feather. I'm still working to improve my diet, as I used to eat just sunflower seeds. I'm now enjoying a pellet blend, fresh fruits, & veggies. Carrots & apples are my favorites. I'm looking for my forever home - could it be with you? <br><br> My video linked below shows me when I first came to Mickaboo, and my BFF didn't like me back then. My feathers looked far less good than they do now, since I've been on this great new diet and enjoyed lots of sunshine and baths. I'm feeling much more handsome and confident now, and I'm a pretty easy-going birbo. <br><br> Video! https://youtu.be/Zd4tR5bVFCI?t=1630You can see more about me at https://mickaboo.org!
