Amazon Parrots
Elite Procurement Fee: $100
BEST FOR:
The parrot-savvy and young; you don’t want your bird to outlive you. You should love routine and have plenty of time each day to care for and play with these easily bored birds.
Be ready to be in it for the long haul—Amazon parrots can easily reach 40 years old. They’re intelligent, social creatures and need constant interaction and attention. They can be quite a handful, with dominant, opinionated personalities. They come in different colorways that correspond to slight personality differences. Yellow-naped and double yellow headed Amazons, for instance, are extra talkative; southern mealy Amazons are the most docile; and blue-fronted Amazons love to clown around.
