Do not expect Amazon to react immediately to your request. Do not forget the Amazons are very stubborn birds. You must be very convincing and very patient at the same time. Amazon staff should be trained because they have a very strong personality and is very difficult to handle, especially if a parrot is mature and it is during the breeding season. In this way avoids some very bloody bites on his hand and arm. You must show your Amazon parrot their place in the herd. Do not encourage them to dominate. For example, not encourage him to climb to the shoulder. If you do this, the parrot will think this is their territory and protect anyone who tries to approach. Even if ever your Off Your Shoulder, will respond aggressively and even bitten by the shoulder or worse in his eyes. So be careful and teach him that is in control.
