Amazon Parrot Environment tools: what they help with
These tools check the conditions your Amazon parrot lives in: temperature and humidity ranges, lighting distances, heater sizing and other habitat numbers. Many Amazon parrots cannot regulate their own body temperature or humidity. When the enclosure is off, health problems follow, often slowly enough that they are missed.
What to know about environment and habitat conditions for Amazon parrots
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. Target humidity is around 40-60%.

A practical tip
Measure with a digital thermometer and hygrometer at the animal's level, not near the heat source. Readings a few centimetres apart can differ a lot.
