My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bob is a Double Yellow Headed Amazon who is an owner relinquish from a family who is trying to downsize. He needs to be adopted by an experienced adopter because he does bite**. He currently talks a little but will be very vocal with work. Bob is about 10 years old. His adoption fee is $250 which includes cage and supplies.



**Though only captive-bred Yellow-headed Amazons may be owned, these are widely available (if somewhat expensive) and their personalities make them highly desirable pets; they have been kept as such for centuries[18] because they are among the parrots that "talk" best. Their vocal abilities are generally bested only by the African Grey Parrot and matched by similar species, such as the Yellow-naped Parrot. Yellow-headed Amazons in captivity appear to have an affinity for both singing and the learning of song - and a naturally powerful, operatic voice.

As in most amazons, nervous plucking of plumage is rare among this species. A generally recognized disadvantage of the Yellow-headed Amazon and its close relatives (such as the Yellow-naped Amazon) is hormonal aggressiveness, most notable among males in the breeding season. It is a member of the "Hot Three" (referring to the male bird's 'hot' temper), along with the Yellow-naped and Blue-fronted.
