Amazon parrot is the common name for a parrot of the genus Amazona. These are medium-size parrots native to the New World ranging from South America to Mexico and the Caribbean.
The Amazon is a loving and sociable parrot originating from South America.

The affectionate and loyal nature of the Amazon make this bird a wonderful pet for those experienced with companion parrots. Amazons are highly intelligent and require a devoted owner who is willing to provide significant and meaningful attention, as well as stimulus such as chewing toys to keep them happy and healthy.

Hand reared male birds from aviary bred parents make the best pets. Amazons are generally easily trained and have an excellent talking ability. If not provided with the necessary training and socialisation, the Amazon can become aggressive and susceptible to other behavioural problems.

Amazon Parrot is an excellent talker, very affectionate, but few enjoy petting. Clear voices and learn new words easily. Good at singing, laughing and whistling. Can become very tame, and enjoy human company. Can be aggressive during breeding season. Some male Amazons can be difficult after they reach sexual maturity. Good early training is required to prevent the male Amazons from becoming too mean. Some Amazons are known to be noisy, while other types are reported to be quieter.
