Amazon Parrots 🦜: Do They Make Great Talking, Cuddly Pets?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 січ 2021
- You know, they do. They really do!
Any exceptions aside, Amazon parrots are people-oriented. They are charsmatic, energetic, funny and playful; they talk - some sing - and even learn the context of words so that they aren't just "parroting" them back to you.
Best of all, they are affectionate. Amazon parrots click and purr when they are happiest, which is often when you are cuddling, petting them or doing something special with them.

They are hilarious and make great family member addition, they love attention and people and have different characters toward different people. Mine loves company and gets more happier when we have guests over, but sometimes he has a bad attitude and attacks people that he doesn't like and only allows me to pet his paws and chest although still bites me once in a while. I Love him!!! You got to watch him or he will destroy your stuff chewing on it.
Yes, Amazons are amazing! And yes, they can destroy things! You are lucky that yours likes visitors. Is he young?
Amazons are just so fun! I love how much they can say with their pupils
So true, they do say a lot with their eyes- amazing for a species that talks so well!!!
Wow, he's got you trained super well.
LOL!
Yep he's in control 🤣
I have a red crowned Amazon and I absolutely love him!!!
LOL just asked what kind you have! They are loud, but wonderful, right?
I have one. He's 27. I love him. He hates everyone except me, he likes my son who is just a little kid which shocked us all. He's so loving with me. Funny, insane, guy. Only says Hello which is ridiculous, haha. Likes to whistle. He's addicted to human food, he won't eat healthy which is frustrating.
I always hear that people LOVE their Amazon, but that the Amazon only likes 1 person. So lucky, so glad your Zon likes your son! And the diet… I know, parrots are good at making you feel like they won’t eat anything if you don’t give them what they want. however, you can insist… I don’t think human food is bad, as long as your Zon does not get meat (I know, loves it) or processed foods and ‘bad’ oils. It’s worth trying to at least modify his/her diet :)
@@ParrotBliss thanks for the reply. We've tried so much. He becomes like a hunger striker then hahaha.
you must love your amazon, you're glowing on this video and thumbnail!
I have an affinity to Amazons, yes! I love all my parrots, but Amazons seem to really like me and one of my closest bonds is with an Amazon :)
I relate to you, Ursula. I, too, bite people to show my affection
(I don't have parrots, but I do have two beautiful mated pigeons ❤ )
I hear pigeons make great pets!
I have a Blue Front Amazon. He hardly talks at all, he is actually very quiet, and wants to murder everyone but me. I think it is very important that people consider their expectations when getting a bird, because there are NO guarantees - especially when it comes to talking. I know people with African Grey parrots who are not good talkers. You never know what kind of bird you are going to wind up with. Before I got mine, I considered all of my reasons for wanting a parrot, and decided that I would accept him for who he was and would be committed to him for as long as he lives. Sure, it would be cool if he talked more, but I don’t love him any less because he doesn’t.
We adopted our Red Lored Amazon Gus at 44years old. He is pretty quiet, doesn't play with toys and wants to murder everyone except my son. When my son left for ten days, Gus warmed up to my husband very nicely. As soon as my son got back home, Gus hated my husband again. It's nice to know that they CAN love again, but it has to be the right person.
*hi! I know ive been all over the place with what my top choices are for a parrot is.. but ive decided on a baby red headed amazon! my other choices [golden conure/hhanhs macaw] have been impossible to locate or find! :[ but I am happy with my final choice & im picking him/her up this evening! I am sooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!! id love to see another video on amazons & what yours prefers to eat, what makes yours scared, mad, timid, what makes them happy happy, everything! but thank you for this video! cant wait until my baby is home! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️*
How exciting! Congratulations!
I have a yellow nape he is so sweet my african grey meow lol
Yay! I love hearing that people love their Amazon-- since they can be challenging. I'm with you, love mine!
There's massive flocks of theses guys that visits my neighborhood a couple times a year they absolutely rock!
I'm jealous! It would be fun to see them!
He doesnt like the other bird on you. Amazons rock!!!
I enjoy your videos, as I find them to be very informative. I'm looking to purchase an Amazon in the near future. Trying to get as much info on the various types. Not only did I prescribe to your channel, I purchased your book & hit up the Facebook group!
Thanks for joining and getting my book! What kind of Amazon are you looking to get? You don't mind the NOISE? My Zons are loud! Ahhhh! LOL!
Adopt, don’t buy. 💕
@@skittles2055 Don't tell people what to do or how to live their life. Mind your own business.
@@taoboxer9 I can speak up for precious animals all I want thanks.
@@skittles2055 shutup no one wants to adopt an animal which would be IMENSELY hard to “tame” to a basic standard and is more aggressive and stressed which requires more experience and skill. Telling everyone to adopt pets is just asking for more people to mistreat already mistreated pets
Cute bird
Thanks, he's wonderful!
I took in a 13 year old Blue Amazon. He's 29 today.
He's extremely violent to Outsiders.
So, you've had him for 16 years? I'm not surprised about him being that way with outsiders, they are loyal to their mate/flock. But when you are in with them, they are awesome, right?
Very cute❤❤❤❤
Sweetheart
My Amazon talks when he wants to, lol. Although he does have a large vocabulary and sings, he will never do it on camera or on command.
That’s exactly mine! Take the phone out, they stop! LOL what kind of Zon do you have?
She/he almost tore your eyebrow clean off… nice “kiss” lol.
I’m lucky, he’s gentle!
It looks like the puertorican parrot. They are so beautiful
They are!
Hi, Just found your channel. Amazon parrots are my favorite 🦜😎
Welcome Brn! Amazons are amazing🙂 We have 3!
Your home reminds me of mine i have 3 indoor cats 1 guinea pig and 1 indoor mini roosters 😅. And one outdoor mini rooster and 6 outdoor cats. It get crazy around here and loud.
Yeah, it gets crazy around here too… and loud! LOL
Yep that bird owns you! 🤣
Absolutely!
We have these in Texas wild
That is so cool!
Wow that was fun to watch thanks Kalyn 😃
Thanks for watching, France!
The parrot simply wants you to use some mouthwash
I see
Mine hates everyone except me and also hates cell phones, hats, watches. I love him but he has an evil streak 100%. When he attacks or bites there’s no “nip” he means it and goes for the heavy rip every time. I love my guy but I would never ever let him on my shoulder. Not worth the risk
I’ve been reading so much on the Mexican Red Headed Amazons for a few years now. It appears they are calmer than the “hot 3” I been reading about. I finally have a chance to get a baby that is being handfed. There are 2 extremely young babies. One has a vibrant red head and one seems a bit more dull red head. I just bought your Bliss Bond audio book yesterday. I want to be sure I can get through the hormonal stage. What are your thoughts on getting this baby? Is it still highly likely he will get aggressive eventually and bite me hard and continue to do this for a long time?
I have a strict diet for my parrots. My Red-head gets no seeds and no fruit. Not good for him/Amazons.
Honestly, I don't really have hormonal birds. Ursulus is 4 or 5. I atritute not having hormonal issues to: (I'll aim to do a video on this) I'm calm with him. He has a cage-mate, another Amazon. Again, diet.
So, I don't experience hormonal issues or biting. :)
The breeder is hand feeding now completely but will wean on no fruit and seeds either. She said sugars and high fat seeds are extremely bad for him. I would love if you made a video on this. I plan to set up a member account tonight. Thank you for your response.
My mom rescued one. I think it's a girl. Do you have videos to teach how to take care of and train Amazon red crown?
I have videos on bringing home rescue parrot - I have rescued several species, including Amazons. If you do a search using the words “Parrot Bliss” and “rescue” then you’ll see several videos pop up :) Congratulations to you both on the new Amazon!
Can you tell me what treat should I give my birs x
What species do you have?
Is this different to lilac crowned?
In the video I have a Mexican Red-headed Amazon. I don’t know Lilacs, but my guess is that they are cuddly too
Yes but fairly similar
Hi, how can I start taking my amazon parrot to free flight one day? (Possibly return to me afterwards) He is one year old now
Daily practice, start in the house doing recall training.
What you feed him, my Amazon is driving me crazy with so much screaming what can I do with that. He also hates water bottles and I had him in my should when I grab one, short story I scream a lot of the pain after he grab my neck for touching the water bottle
They don't do well all alone (without another bird) unless you give them A LOT of time and attention. How old is your Amazon? Have you had him for his whole life?
Is that the one that followed you around the store and you slept on it before you went back and brought him home
No… I wound up bringing a couple home over the years!
@@ParrotBliss your babies are so precious
Nice video
Thank you. Ursulus is wonderful!
A viridigenalis, viridi means green (as in verdant), genalis means cheek (Latin). Literally green-cheek.
Thank you, Greg. Virdi I will remember, it is basically ’verde’ in Spanish. Genalis will be harder to remember 😀🦜
How can I play with a parrot few hours a week without owning it completely?!!😊
A lot of exotic bird stores don’t mind if people come in and spend time with the birds, it’s usually good for the birds. Try visiting a pet store. Also, you could volunteer at a rescue. I’m guessing they would let you spend time after your volunteer.
where can u purchase and buy a red head amazon parrot
Try finding a breeder. I don't know of any and don't know of anyone with one now.
They are also known as Red Lord Amazons.
Actually, that is another species :) There are like 50+ species of Amazons!
I have the same bird, he is turning one year old, I had have since six months. My question is does the red on his head grow larger as he age?
The red on Ursulu's head is as much as they get.
Would you recommend me getting a indian ringneck, OR an amazon parrot. I really can’t decide. What would you recommend
Have you ever had a parrot before? How much time do you have to dedicate to your parrot?
@@ParrotBliss I’ve had multiple parrots and i have quite a lot of time to spare daily
(i’ve had Cockatiels, Multiple budgies who have all been very tame, and i have had a sun conure who i took outside and played with a lot)
(Also the amazon parrot i’m thinking of getting is going to be an Orange winged amazon parrot)
@@ParrotBliss .
I just rescued a BFA aprx 6 yrs old ?female and I need help. Rescued her on 1/30/22. She was being kept in a small travel carrier by previous owners for 5 yrs. supposedly only for sleeping and she was out of the carrier otherwise. I have purchased a large cage for her and she has been in it since that time. My problem is that she will NOT step up for me so how do I get her used to me if her cage is being kept in her birdie room?
Hi Donna, I’ll make a video for you
Do Amazons poop differently to other parrot species? My Amazon does a liquid poop every 5 minutes no matter what. I can't have him in my house because he poops so often it's crazy. Is this common for amazons? Because my other parrots aren't that bad.
I have not observed that in my 4 Zons. Vet time? Is he behaving any differently?
@@ParrotBliss He's pooped like that since I got him about a year ago. He's about 1.5 years old. I have taken him to a vet once when I thought he looked sick and the vet told me he had a yeast infection. He doesn't look sick anymore and he's quite happy and healthy but yeah ever since the day I got him he just liquid poops every 5 minutes even while he sleeps. He eats a solid diet too, 70% pellets with the remainder being fruits/veg. Do you think I should get him checked out?
@@peppytheecky1703 here’s the thing, since I’m not an avian vet, I don’t really understand why his poops are so frequent and so liquid. What I have learned is that that’s not how parent poops should be. Of course, I don’t know if there can be exceptions. For that reason, if I were you, I would get him checked out. Liquid poops are supposed to be diarrhea. I would also remove fruits from his diet. I think that may contribute, not sure. In any case, you are probably buying and giving him right fruit, which is high in Fritos and may contribute to this. so, I would definitely take my Amazon to the vet. You may be able to have your vet look at the droppings, and your vet may say it’s fine, which would be an inexpensive vet visit. Just the office call. Then you would have peace of mind. If not, the vet may catch some thing and save his life.
@@ParrotBliss Yeah I'll take him to a vet again for another check out
@@peppytheecky1703 let me know how it goes. I hope it’s as least expensive as possible with great results!
We rescued on of these parrots after it was shot in the wing with an air rifle last year. Is it possible to teach it how to talk if it is too old?
They say they can always learn- we have one that does and one that doesn’t seem to learn anymore- worth trying.
@@ParrotBliss any idea what the best method for teaching them is?
How are amazons during hormone season compared to Toos? Are they as obnoxious as Toos? Lol
My Amazons haven’t been problematic at all - BUT they are not young and one is too young. Took are notorious, especially males. So, during the ‘teen’ years, Amazons could be terrible, I just don’t know.
Amazons Re great but the red headed are the ones who are less noisy and more social but they can’t talk as much as yellow or green headed.
It's true, different species are known for talking more/less. I find they are all potentially noisy and Ursulus is one of my best talkers.
What do I feed mine
Are you asking what you should feed yours?
@@ParrotBliss yes ma’am
They're not pets lady. They're companions and family members.
Agreed- people call them pets, but they are so much more
LOVE Y'ALL CAN Y'ALL WHISTLE FOR ME?
They do!
