My name is Ozzie and I`m a red-lored amazon parrot. I`m at least 35 years old. When my human mom went to the hospital, I was all alone in the house, so her daughter contacted Mickaboo. My mom didn`t want to let me go but she agreed it was best for me. I absolutely love head scritches and showers. I mostly talk in my amazon parrot language, but I can do the wolf whistle. I step-up on you hand if you insist, but I prefer not to. I yell to let you know that I don`t want to, but I`m not much of a biter. I was eating a seed-based diet when I came to Mickaboo. I also ate fresh peeled apples, orange slices, and cooked potato. My favorite treat is unsalted peanuts in the shell. I`ve learned to eat pellets at my foster home, but you`ll need to mix them with applesauce to make them tasty. I also love fresh honey mango, fresh papaya, and cooked sweet potato. I like to be partially covered at night. I talk to the other amazons in my foster home, but I don`t want to physically interact with them. I have some age-related health issues, like cholesterol plaques in both eyes and my wings droop sometimes. I really just like to hang-out in my cage in the living room and enjoy your ambient company and frequent head scritches. I don`t move around or play much. I`m looking for a warm place to land for my golden years.
