The Joys Of Owning A Yellow Headed Parrot
Copyright (c) 2010 Kaye Dennan
One of the most popular pet parrots is the Yellow Headed Amazon parrot and what makes this so amazing is the fact that in its very own natural environment it is a threatened species. This is a wonderful talker and this is one of the reasons that parrot owners desire their company.
It is the continuing growth of commercial developments that is threatening the Yellow Headed parrot in its natural environment. Forests are being cut down for materials for building, or to clear the land for development to take place. The rate that land in the coast regions of Mexico and further south where the parrot resides, is being cleared is astronomical when you think of the forest that is left. There are fortunately, some domestic yellow headed parrots that have escaped from captivity and are reproducing around the more tropical regions of America in the south and this is helping to keep numbers alive. Still, let's talk about the parrot itself.
The parrot is easly recognizable with its bright green body and bright yellow head. On the bend of its wing there is a touch of bright red and also on the outer region of the wing. The flight feathers are tipped with a blue-black color and the longer tail feathers are bright yellow. A Yellow Headed parrot is usually quite easy to pick even though there are some slight variances in color.
Although the yellow parrot is well known for its talking abilities, we have to accept that although most will talk, there will be some that will not. Generally speaking they are a fun parrot to own as a pet as they are very active, like to be let out of their cage and are great companions.
Taming a yellow parrot.
The Yellow Headed parrot has a lovely nature and is very easy to tame and train to talking and to do tricks. They need repetitive actions to be able to learn to talk and to do their tricks but they learn easily and remember well.
Toys in their cage.
As these parrots are extremely active, it is best to make sure that there are plenty of toys in their cage or aviary and some are swinging toys so that they can play with them when left on their own. Toys hanging on strings entertain parrots for hours.
Another feature for their cage is to have several rough branches in there so that they can chew on those as they love to do this if they are a bit bored.
Size of the yellow parrot.
The usual length of a full grown Yellow Headed parrot is about 15 inches which is a good size if someone wants to own a larger parrot than say, a budgerigar. At this size the parrot is easy to handle, easy to house and does not do too much damage as it flies around the house.

How do I deal with my aggressive Amazon parrot?
I'm taking care of an Amazon parrot for a week, and she's really aggressive. When I can actually take her out of the cage, she attacks the stick I take her out with. She barely lets anyone touch her. She lunges at me when I pass her cage, or even touch it. When I put her on the ground, she attacks my toes! HELP ME WITH THE DEMON!
Amazons are one of the highest rehomed birds at maturity. They become very aggressive. Keep that in mind. It is going to take a lot of time for you to deal with this. The one sure way is to divide her food into 4 or 5 servings and everytime you walk by the cage, give her food. Soon it will associate you to food and that you mean no harm. Then try to handle her little by little. Start out with a stick and gradually shorten the stick lenght until you can pet her.
All this will take time but it is well worth it.
