Environment
When you pick your cage for your parrot never choose a circular cage because they
are known to stress parrots. Make sure that the cage bars aren't too wide otherwise
the parrot can get his head stuck in it or he can escape. Amazon parrots require a lot
of space because they are pretty large birds. The bigger the cage for your Amazon
Parrot the better. Your Amazon Parrot should have multiple climbing places for him to
fly around. There should also be fake leaves throughout the cage to show a more
jungle like theme. Make sure that in the cage there is a food dish and water dish your
Amazon Parrot should have easy access to his dishes. You should probably put them
to the side of the cage and have a rod lead up to it.
Food
The Amazon parrots food should consist of seed only diets, formulated diets, pelleted
or extruded, or a mixture of both meals. The formulated diet will give your parrot all of
the nutrients it needs this diet should make up 60-70% of their regular diet. A seed
diet will give your Amazon parrot all of the calcium and vitamins it will need. Fresh fruit
and vegetables will be a great snack for your Amazon parrot. Never feed them fruit
seeds, avocado, chocolate, alcohol, or caffeine since your Amazon parrot will get sick.
Amazon parrots are known to get obese if they are fed to much so do not over due
their diet. Always keep your parrots water free from chlorine and fresh every day to
ensure your parrot is getting healthy water daily.
Handling
If you handle your Amazon parrot they will soon become extremely tame. If you do
handle them make sure it is not a place where they can easily escape and never take
them outside in case they are to fly away. Most parrots should be tamed when they
are chicks if your parrot was not trained when it was young then it is probably not as
good as a pet to handle. You should get a pet that is already tamed so you wont have
to worry about taming your Amazon parrot.
Fun Facts
Amazon parrots are really outgoing and will talk to just about anyone. It will mimic its
keepers voice and start to say common phrases that the keeper will say.
