Amazon parrots are the best talking parrots that you can have as pets, and the double yellow headed amazon and blue fronted Amazon is certainly some of the best and most intelligent of the species. Native to South America , Mexico and the Caribbean , the average life expectancy of Amazon parrots are a whopping 40 to 80 years.
Like their name implies, double yellow headed Amazon is green with bright yellow heads, although Blue and Lutino mutations may occur naturally. The feathers on its head has the ability to ascend to make their heads look double their normal size when they are happy.
They are excellent to mimic the human voice and will learn to speak very quickly. Their intelligence also makes them particularly good at learning tricks and their love for performance makes them a very entertaining birds to have. Although they need some daily attention, they can entertain themselves for long periods, if supplied with enough toys. This makes them much less time consuming than other parrots.
Blue fronted Amazons are also extremely intelligent and quick to pick up human speech patterns. The only downside of Amazon is that they do not go through a stage of bluffing, as the elderly where they can be aggressive. However, they may quickly outgrow this phase through good training and handling, and will be very fun and loving pets.
Like all parrots, Amazons, Blue Front Amazons are prone to becoming overweight if they eat too much and too little exercise. Therefore it is important to let your parrot out of its cage every so often, so it can stretch its wings and work without some of the foods you've been feeding it. You can also manage your amazon parrot weight by cutting the nuts and fruits from her diet, or at least keep them to a minimum.
