Amazon parrots at a glance
With good care, Amazon parrots typically live 40-60 years. Amazon parrots are omnivores, which shapes what you feed and how much. Most adults weigh around 300-700 g. They reach maturity at about 4 years old.
Amazons are robust, confident parrots known for singing rather than plucking. They gain weight easily on seed diets and need a pellet-based diet with vegetables plus a large cage and daily flight time.
The health problems vets see most often in Amazon parrots include obesity and fatty liver disease, hormonal aggression in spring, vitamin A deficiency and aspergillosis.
Eggs usually take 26 to 28 days to hatch.
