Winston's Story

Winston is a blast. He spent all of his life, 30+ years, with other medium sized birds, so he would do best in a home with similarly sized birds. He is an Amazon, so he can be loud. He is a relatively typical double yellow head, although he is more apprehensive of new people and animals than normal. He loves baths in every form, singing in person and videos, and he LOVES his shows on tv. Winston definitely prefers males, but he is tolerant of females with clear and consistent boundaries. He steps up to perches and, with the right person, to hands. Winston would do very well with someone with prior Amazon experience. He should not go to a family with children or who plan to have children due to the nature of male DYHs, especially during hormone season. Winston is really a joy of a bird for the right home.
