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. 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 Yellow Headed parrot is very pretty with its bright green body and bright yellow head. There is a touch of bright red at the bend of its wing and also on the outer region. The flight feathers are tipped with a blue-black color and the longer tail feathers are bright yellow. As with most parrots there are slight variances in the different species, but generally most people can pick a Yellow Headed parrot quite easily.

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. 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.

Have lots of fun with your yellow headed pet parrot as you teach him new parrot tricks and at Pet Parrot Secrets you will also learn how to take great care of him so he is around for many years to come.
