Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: The Joys Of Owning A Yellow Headed Parrot

Copyright (c) 2010 Kaye Dennan

The Yellow Headed Amazon parrot is a popular type
of pet parrot and what makes this so amazing is
the fact that in its very own natural environment
it is a threatened species. The yellow parrot has
excellent vocal abilities 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. The
forests are being cleared for development or the
trees are being cut for timber. Development in
the coast regions of Mexico and further south
where the parrot resides is rapid and life
theatening for them. Fortunately many captive
yellow parrots have escaped captivity and they
have reproduced with concentrations in the more
tropical southern regions of America. 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. If the parrot is healthy and happy
they are a fun parrot to own and will give their
owners great joy.

Taming a yellow parrot.

The Yellow Headed parrot is known for it s lovely
nature and its ability to be taught to talk and
do tricks. Like any creature they will need
repetitive actions so that they can learn to talk
or to do tricks, but once they have learnt they
don't forget.

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. If the toys are hanging on strings
for the parrot to play with they will entertain
them 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.

A full grown Yellow Headed parrot will reach
about 15 inches which is a good size for an
parrot in the medium size range. The size of
this parrot means it is easy to handle, is a
great house pet and its other features endears it
to its owners.
