The Joys Of Owning A Yellow Headed Parrot

Copyright (c) 2010 Kaye Dennan

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. Forests are being cut down for materials for building, or to clear the land for development to take place. 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. There are fortunately, some domestic yellow headed parrots that have escaped from captivity and are reproducing around the more tropical regions of America in the south and this is helping to keep numbers alive. 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. Generally speaking they are a fun parrot to own as a pet as they are very active, like to be let out of their cage and are great companions.

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. Toys hanging on strings entertain parrots 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.

The usual length of a full grown Yellow Headed parrot is about 15 inches which is a good size if someone wants to own a larger parrot than say, a budgerigar. At this size the parrot is easy to handle, easy to house and does not do too much damage as it flies around the house.

Baby Einstein – Baby Van Gogh – World of Colors $19.99 The Baby Einstein Company’s “video board books” were designed as music-focused developmental tools to stimulate babies’ brains (prompted by research proving that exposure to classical melodies can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory in youngsters). Now the company is expanding into other art forms, including color and art. The idea remains the same–taking bold…

Elton John – Greatest Hits $4.58 Elton John has always fancied himself a big-theme album artist, but because even his finest albums are spotty, his best moments, with few exceptions, have been singles. Greatest Hits collects nine of them from ’70 to ’74, plus one of those exceptions, the stirring faux-gospel “Border Song.” If you overlook the weightless “Crocodile Rock” and the contrived “Your Song,” this album shows why John is …

Encore (Deluxe Edition) $8.55 Eminem’s fourth album offers few surprises, but still enough pleasures to carry the day. As evinced by Em’s pre-election, pro-voting “Mosh,” this is not exactly the same Eminem who seemingly crapped on anything and everything. Encore finds a surprisingly mature Eminem waxing reflective about his battle with Benzino (“Like Toy Soldiers”) rather than unloading both barrels. However, it’s not all eld…
