Without Amazons, the pet bird community might be a little duller. These boisterous, clownish parrots love to sing and dance – literally – and they eat and yell with the same amount of enthusiasm.
Twenty-six species comprise the Amazona genus, although only a handful of them are found in the pet trade. They’re mostly stocky, medium to large green parrots with short tails.
“Generally speaking, Amazons are rowdy, intelligent, exuberant birds who are prone to noisiness. Males can be headstrong as they mature. If they were humans, they would be the life of any party, dancing on the table, wearing a lampshade. Careful observation of their body language prevents most aggression” -Liz Wilson, CVT
