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.
“Generally speaking," said avian behaviorist consultant, Liz Wilson, CVT, "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."
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.
