subject: The Reason Why Parrot Owners Have Yellow Headed Parrots [print this page] 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. The forests are being cleared for development or the trees are being cut for timber. 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. Fortunately many captive yellow parrots have escaped captivity and they have reproduced with concentrations in the more tropical southern regions of America. 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. 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 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. If the toys are hanging on strings for the parrot to play with they will entertain them 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.
A full grown Yellow Headed parrot will reach about 15 inches which is a good size for an parrot in the medium size range. The size of this parrot means it is easy to handle, is a great house pet and its other features endears it to its owners.
