	What does it mean?  It means the pet store doesn't even know
	what kind of bird they have.  "Amazon" covers LOTS of different
	parrots: Yellow Nape, Blue Front....uh, well, I'm not a parrot
	owner, and I know there are lots of others.  Describing it
	as an "Amazon" is pretty close to saying "Parrot for sale."

	The different birds have different characteristics.  That's
	why it matters what kind it is.  So he can do his research.
