The Yellow Headed Amazon parrot is one of the most popular types of pet parrot and what makes this so amazing is the fact that in its own environment it is threatened. The yellow parrot has excellent vocal abilities and parrot owners desire their company because of the talking that they will do.

The reason that the Yellow Headed parrot is threatened in its natural environment is because of commercial developments. The forests are being cleared for development or the trees are being cut for timber. Development in the coast regions of Mexico and further south where the parrot resides is rapid and life theatening for them. 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 Yellow Headed parrot is very pretty 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. If the parrot is healthy and happy they are a fun parrot to own and will give their owners great joy.

Taming a yellow parrot.

The Yellow Headed parrot is known for it s lovely nature and its ability to be taught to talk and do tricks. Like any creature they will need repetitive actions so that they can learn to talk or to do tricks, but once they have learnt they don't forget.

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.
