Here's a picture of my Yellow Nape Amazon, 'Little Man'! He just had a bath so some of his feathers are very dark. He's showing the typical demon amazon look-eyes dilate. He's just excited.

He's about 12 years old now. We've had him since he's been a chick. He can talk (as well as a human), sing, and whistle. He was my first 'baby' before the kids came along. Sadly, I've learned that I'm allergic to him. Causes a asthma reaction if I handle him to much. We manage okay right now. He hangs out on his LARGE cage and comes and sits near me a couple times a day. He's adjusted. I just feel bad for him, he was use to SO MUCH attention. I'm doing the best I can. It's harder in the winter when I can't open the windows. One day I'm sure he'll have to live somewhere else if the asthma becomes worse. Hopefully the new medication will get it under control!
