Red-headed Amazon

Red-headed Amazon Parrots are recognizable by the red plumage on their forehead and crown followed by powder-blue patches extending back from the eyes. Native to the eastern coast of Mexico, they predominantly inhabit tropical forests and woodlands, where they play important roles in their ecosystems by aiding in seed dispersal. These parrots are popular as pets due to their playful and social nature. They are highly intelligent and can mimic sounds and speech, making them engaging companions. Red-headed Amazon parrots require a stimulating environment, a balanced diet, and regular social interaction to thrive. A diet relying mainly on seed mixes is too high in fat and is deficient in vitamins A and D and calcium which will lead to health problems. Appropriate diets for pet parrots may include pellets, sprouts, a variety of fresh produce, and a small amount of seed. Their captivating appearance and engaging personality make them a favorite among bird enthusiasts worldwide.
