Amazon Parrot (Genus: Amazona) — A group of medium-to-large parrots native to Central America, South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Amazon parrots are best known for their intelligence, bold personalities, and exceptional talking ability. Most species are predominantly green, accented with bright splashes of yellow, blue, red, or orange on the head, wings, or tail.

Amazon parrots are highly social and thrive in flocks in the wild, where they communicate constantly through loud calls and body language. In captivity, they often form strong bonds with their caretakers and can be playful, affectionate, and expressive—but they also require structure, training, and consistent interaction to prevent behavioral issues.

Amazon parrots are known to go through hormonal phases, especially during breeding season, which can affect behavior. They are best suited for owners who understand parrot behavior and can provide long-term commitment, enrichment, and training.
