About Fiji
Fiji is a healthy, well-groomed Amazon who has never shown self-harming behaviors. He takes excellent care of himself and presents as a strong, confident bird.

Earlier in life, he also experienced a house fire evacuation and was briefly lost overnight before being found. These events may contribute to some of his sensitivities.

Personality & Temperament
In many ways, Fiji is a wonderful companion parrot.
He is:
- Musical and vocal
- Social and engaging
- Interactive in conversations
- A whistler of familiar tunes
- A fan of music and sound
He enjoys:
- Cardboard boxes
- Bright wooden toys
- Long, relaxing showers
Fiji has formed an extremely strong one-person bond. With his chosen person, he is affectionate, gentle, and deeply loyal.
However, he becomes defensive and may bite if others attempt to handle him. This behavior has been worked with consistently for two years without change, which is why he is now being surrendered — despite being very loved.
Ideal Home for Fiji
Fiji requires:
- An experienced Amazon parrot owner
- Someone who understands one-person bonding
- Strong knowledge of parrot body language
- Respect for boundaries
- A calm and structured environment
He is not suitable for a multi-handler household. He needs a confident, knowledgeable adopter who is comfortable managing strong Amazon personality traits.
With the right match, Fiji can be an incredibly loyal and rewarding lifelong companion.

Important Things to Know About Parrots
1️⃣ Parrots Usually Choose One Person
Most parrots bond deeply with one individual and may only tolerate others.
2️⃣ Birds & Children
Birds are generally not ideal for homes with young children, dogs, or other birds. They are flock animals and should live in a communal area of the home to prevent behavioral issues.
3️⃣ Birds Bite
Biting typically indicates fear, overstimulation, or broken trust. Respecting boundaries is essential.
4️⃣ Parrots Are Not Dominance-Based
If a bird resists stepping up or leaving a safe space, it is about security — not dominance.
