Welcome to Clever Parrot
We are all fascinated with birds that can talk. Not only are parrots beautiful in color
and movement, but the very fact that they can speak captures our attention in a way that few other birds can do.
Parrot's ability to talk or mimic is related to their gregarious nature. Parrots have
a long life span and are very social. In the wild, parrot chicks learn to mimic
vocalizations specific to their parents. As they play or work together, these parrots
repeat vocalizations to each other, which helps keep bonds strong.
There are many different types of parrots, each with an interesting history and
unique personality. With so many to choose from, it is important that before going

Various Breeds continued...
Amazons continued....
Amazons guard each other, their young and their territory, with an aggressiveness
that can put fear in the bravest human. Anything that triggers an Amazon's
breeding instinct will also trigger his aggression. Owners of pet males should be
careful when handling them during the breeding season. Breeding pairs should
have flights and cages designed so that you do not have to invade their cage to
feed and water them. Depending on the species you choose, the Amazon will cost
anywhere from $250 to $1,200.
Amazona albifrons - White-Fronted Amazon
These are one of the smallest types of parrots but tend to be noisy. Some of
these birds are small and fearless so you will need to watch them so they
will not get hurt. Talking is not one of their strong points, but individuals
do develop respectable vocabularies.
Amazona viridigenalis - Mexican Redhead or Green-Cheeked
In the wild, this species shares part of its range with the Ornate Hawk-Eagle
that specializes in hunting parrots. Many will not tolerate other Amazon
species and will scream to stake their territory. Talking ability in this type
varies considerably. These parrots range from 12 to 13 inches in length.
Amazona finschi - Lilac-Crowned Amazon
These are trusting birds that learn to imitate sounds. The quality of their
voice is not considered as good as some of the other Amazons but some are
good talkers while some do not speak at all. These are gentle birds with a
quiet demeanor and range in size from 12 to 13 inches.
