Amazon, not been DNA tested but was told was a male, is not banded. He talks some and loves to sing, atleast that is what he thinks he is doing. Will step up when away from his cage. He would make a good pet with work or could be used as a breeder. I am asking $400 for him without a cage, so you will need one big enough for him. I may be willing to trade for other birds, please no parakeets or cockatiels.
