Abstract
After watching ads and making
inquiries for over a year, I thought I
might indeed have to trade a kingdom
to find a female Mexican red head
(Amazona viridigenalis, also green
cheek Amazon) until one evening I
received an unexpected call. A man
introduced himself as Dave Slater and
said, "I hear you're looking for a hen:'
My heart began thumping with true
parrot-lust.
