Do Amazon Parrots Make Good Pet Birds? | Tips for Bird Owners

Whether in person or on TV, you’ve most probably seen an Amazon parrot at least once in your life. One species are those small to medium-sized green birds usually seen on top of a pirate’s shoulder in the movies.

There are many reasons you’ll want to adopt an Amazon parrot; they are intelligent, they are beautiful, they have rich and varied vocalizations, and you can teach them a lot of things.

However, these qualities come at a price. Since they are very intelligent, they require a lot of attention and stimulation. They require long time commitment as they can live up to 50 years when fed and cared for property. They also love to eat so you need to watch their diet to avoid becoming obese and getting strokes and heart attacks.

We have had a lilac crowned Amazon for 11 1/2 years. She’s not a pet she’s more like a member of the family.
