Snuggles Has a LOT to Learn!

Snug had the opportunity to meet another new friend!

Snug has always had an advantage over the other birds she has met. Snug has either met birds that didn't come out of their cage, weren't taken for walks around campgrounds, never went for bike rides and of course are NEVER as cute as Snug!

However, Snug met her match today!

Here is Laura and Snug with Max, the Yellow Naped Amazon, and his owner Rita!


One of the first things you'll notice is max is waving with his left foot. He does this anytime anyone points a camera at him! Some others were out taking pictures and he waved for every one of them.

Max also lets anyone touch him, pick him up and play with him. If you've met snuggles, you know strangers are NOT allowed to touch her! I think Snug was realizing what she was missing out on as Max was passed around and loved and Scrithched by everyone.

Finally, Max has a vocabulary of around 300 words and is quite the showman! He can do 'the bomb', bark like a dog, cat noises, sing songs just to name a few. Here is a video I found on Animal Planet, not Max, but his vocabulary and responses to his owners questions are every bit of this bird! Max could give this bird a run for his money!

Maybe Snug did learn something from this encounter. Here she is contemplating her experience with Max and the possibility of letting strangers play with her!
