Some of these birds are still chewing up their tail and wing feathers two years later. When buying any amazon stay away from feather chewers as the few we have make poor breeders. Adults are shyer and rather quiet even during the breeding season. It makes a reliable breeder with our two breeding pairs breeding year after year, often double clutching and with above average fertility for an amazon. As with most amazons they raise their young well until we pull them at a few weeks a age.
Babies are sweet, begin to talk early and thus sell well.
I would recommend this species to anyone considering to breed amazons but use acclimated birds. Double-Yellow Headed Amazon A very popular amazon and my favourite parrot. Mexico, the main range state, stopped exporting parrots more than a decade ago so the only source for breeding stock is from pet birds and other breeders. Be very careful to get documentation from a seller that they have had the birds for as long as they say eg. This is the most commonly smuggled parrot into the USA and also into Canada.
