The amazon parrot is a large green parrot that
lives in South America and the Caribbean. They
usually have accenting colors, depending on the
type of species. The most common species of amazon
have a shade of yellow across their breast. An
amazon parrot like all parrots have four toes
on each foot, with two at the front and two at
the back allowing them to balance easily on treat
branches in the wild.
Lots of amazon parrots are kept in households
as pets due to they are lovable nature and they
are amazing ability to mimic human words. They
are also very loyal and have the ability to live
for a great many years. No one really knows why
parrots live for so long. It is often said that
their intelligence is a key factor for this unusual
trait.
However the occasional amazon parrot during a
mating period may become strangely aggressive,
therefore it is necessary to keep them well under
control and in good company all of the time. The
best way to do this is to have a second amazon
parrot so they can communicate with one another
during the periods when human company is unavailable.
This will stop them from getting bored which can
happen very easily!
Every amazon parrot likes to destroy things, some
more than others! In the wild they tend to chew
on wood often, which breaks down their cavities
and helps keep their teeth nice and strong. Make
sure you have lots of destructible toys for your
amazon parrot to chew on throughout the day. Having
these toys also stops them from becoming aggressive
as they always have something to amuse themselves
with.
It is important to realise that an amazon parrot
requires more attention and care than any other
domestic pet such as cats and dogs. It is recommended
that before you buy an amazon parrot, you should
first purchase a smaller bird that is easier to
care for so you gain some valuable experience.
Perhaps starting off with a budgerigar would be
a good idea just until you have enough experience
to handle a real amazon parrot.
An amazon parrot is a very serious animal and
requires a lot of attention. Only experienced
bird handlers have the ability to care for such
magnificent creatures. This is the number one
golden rule that all likely amazon parrot owners
must abide by before owning these beautiful bird
as pets.
