The wild Yellow Headed Amazon Parrot found mainly in the coastal regions of Central America and Northern South American can be found in countries such as Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and Belize. Their sweet disposition and speech abilities come in second only to the African Grey Parrot. Thus, the demand for this species as pets is at an increase. Deforestation and parrot pet trading has caused a decline in the population. Their species status is now on the endangered list. In addition to their many qualities such as looks, intelligence, and speaking abilities, the rarity of the Yellow Headed Amazon parrot draws pet owners from all over the world.
This is a species whose looks turn heads. Their bright green body feathers and bright sunshine yellow head feathers scream "look at me". Considered to be a larger sized bird, ranging in size from 14-17 inches, he demands attention immediately.
Not only with their looks, but also with their personality, their need for attention is dominant. Their high intelligence and vocal capabilities will provide a challenge for even the most seasoned owners. However, if provided with proper care, understanding, and a patient and consistent training routine, the Yellow Headed Amazon Parrot will thrive, enhancing their owner's lives.
Once the decision to own one has been understood fully and made, it's important to note their conservation status. It is only legal to own a captive-bred Yellow Headed Amazon Parrot. However, many people choose to fore go that law in order to save money. Choosing one from a breeder rather than from the wild will assist in conserving their wild habitat. Choosing from a breeder will also increase the chances of bringing home a healthy and manageable parrot companion.
Like most parrot species, this one enjoys a varied diet that includes protein pellets, beta carotene rich vegetables, fresh fruits, and seed and nut mixes. Their cages must be large enough for them to climb, stretch their wings, and feel at home. And, above all, a Yellow Headed Amazon Parrot requires a well-informed, patient, dedicated owner that will work through behavioral problems with a gentle and understanding approach. The Yellow Headed Amazon Parrot's funny, willful, and curious disposition can provide entertainment and friendship for a lifetime!
