This is our first year of breeding the Festive Bodini Amazons. I've  always had a love for the harder to come by Amazons. My favorite Amazons include, Cuban, Hispanolian, Yellow Faced, Tucamon, Red Spectacled Amazons, St Lucia, St Vincents, Imperials, Vineaceous, and the more common Panama's. In November 2007 we receieved and email from a breeder up in Nortern California.explaining that she is scaling down her breeding and is finally deciding to sell her Festive Bodini Amazons. I talked... well basically told Michael that we are going to buy these guys. He relented and we made the 6 1/2 hour drive up north to purchase them.  The birds we recieved were Eva & Bo, an older breeding pair who feed, fledge & wean their young. That's important to Michael & I as we like to let our breeders raise their babies for as they will.

Along with Eva & Bo, we recieved 3of their offspring. Bo-Kay, a 2007 hatched & parent fledged male. Rainbow, a 2005 parent fledged Female & Spirit, a 2002 hatched & parent fledged male. Along with these these siblings we also recieved "Poet" a 1998 hatched Male that came from Rick Jordan at Hill Country Aviaries in Texas.

I will be adding more information on these gorgeous Amazons over the coming weeks.
