Behavior:
Amazon parrots are active and playful birds but require more care and attention than other domesticated animals. They are known for their playfulness and skill with their feet. It is an independent bird that likes doing many stimulating activities. Hence, it is better to provide it with some toys for exercise and amusement. Excessive screaming and chewing are the two common features seen, especially at certain stages in its life. Like other parrots, the bird also considers its beak as a way to ‘discipline us,’ and can sometimes be very naughty. Hence, it is essential to train or guide the bird before it develops an undesirable behavior.
Care:
These birds quickly adapt to their cage and the surrounding environment. It is an active bird and tends to put on weight if it does not get to exercise. Hence, the cage should have sufficient space for play and exercise. The bird usually develops a musky odor which can be bothersome to some people; therefore, it should be shower regularly for personal hygiene and to keep the smell from getting very strong. The bird needs to sleep for at least 10 hours daily, or else it can become very irritable and aggressive.
Diet: The available bird food usually includes formulated diets or seed-only diets. Both have their pros and cons. Formulate diets, which is a good source of a variety of nutrients, is deficient in phytonutrients found in vegetables, fruits, grains, and seeds. Likewise, seed-only diets provide additional vitamin and calcium supplements but do not offer overall enrichment.Get an Amazon
