The Yellow Crowned Amazon, also known as the Yellow Fronted Amazon, or Yellow Headed Amazon, is a very popular parrot in today's households. It is no surprise they enjoy much popularity due to their love of people and the ease with which they respond to taming. In addition, many are excellent talkers. Talking ability will vary between birds and there are not guarantees any bird will talk. This parrot has a love of flying and does very well if kept in an outdoor aviary, though they will also adapt to indoor cages as well. The Yellow Crowned Amazon is known for his loud voice. All Amazons are loud and the Yellow Crowned is perhaps the loudest. Do not get a Yellow Crowned Amazon if you are not prepared for a loud pet. The Yellow Crowned Amazon is one of the most affectionate Amazons, they quickly give as much love and attention to their owners as their owners bestow upon them. The Yellow Crown also has a great love of chewing. His love of chewing can lead to destructive behavior if he is not given plenty of toys suitable for chewing. October 20, 2006

In addition, he is also an intelligent companion that will provide his owners with many years of happiness. Best known for his even-tempered disposition, the Lilac Crown Amazon is a favorite among parrot fanciers. They tend to be more shy than some of the other Amazon species. There are two commonly recognized species of this Amazon - the standard Lilac Crown Amazon, also called 'Finsch's Amazon' (Amazona Finschi Finschi), and the Sonora Lilac Crowned Amazon (Amazona Finschi Woodi). The first species will be discussed here. The Lilac Crown Amazon is not as well known for talking as other Amazons, such as the Double Yellow Headed Amazon, but some maintain they are good talkers. Others hold that he usually is not much of a talker, but some will make surprisingly chatty companions.
