This is the trickier aspect of owning an Amazon parrot, you really have to understand your bird's moods and behaviours. Amazon parrots are definitely not for all pet owners, they need much more love and attention than most people would expect. Owning an Amazon is very similar to owning a dog with wings. Personality and talking ability will vary from species to species and from bird to bird. A bird that doesn't speak or dance is still a beautiful, intelligent creature that deserves all the love its human friends can give.
Amazons often roll onto their backs so both feet can get involved in investigating the latest toy.
My experiences with my own parrot, an Orange-Winged Amazon, have been wonderful. Like most Amazons, she loves being around people, and she is particularly good with children. She was potty trained from a very early age and will only go in her cage or over a waste paper basket. Practicing good beak hygiene. Certain foods are toxic to a bird and are avoided such as chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, avocado and apple seeds.
