 Amazon
Parrots
Let us welcome another native of the New World
among us. The Amazon parrot was first brought to
our land by Christopher Columbus. There are 27 species
of Amazon parrots, ranging from
South America to Mexico and the Caribbean. Amazon
parrots are green and short winged. The Amazon
parrot is very good at talking and imitating sounds.
Studies put the intelligence of these feathered
chatterboxes on the same level as three-year old
humans, dolphins and monkeys.

The Amazon parrots
are very energetic, playful and social creatures that
crave lot of interaction with its human owners. It
is well known for its often moody character. It can
be, at different times, cuddly, loud, quiet, stubborn,
silly, jealous, playfully aggressive or irritable.
The Amazon parrot is definitely not for all pet owners,
it needs much more love and attention than most people
would expect. Owning Amazon parrots
is very similar to owning dogs with wings.
A proper diet for an Amazon parrot's
health includes fruits and vegetables, fresh water,
a fortified parrot pellet mix and a little of what
the human family is having for dinner. Chocolate,
caffeine, alcohol, avocado and apple seeds are toxic
to your pet. Long-term commitment and a slightly offbeat
adventure in pet ownership would mean highly trained
Amazon parrots for pet. Is your bird pet well trained?
