Double Yellow Headed Amazon
Who says you can't have brains and beauty! The Double Yellow Headed Amazon is not only
breathtaking, with his beautiful yellow head; he is also an excellent talker. It is no surprise this
parrot is a favorite among many parrot fanciers.
The Double Yellow Headed Amazon, also know as 'The Double Yellow Head' or 'Yellow Headed
Amazon', is a friendly parrot. He is known to get along quite well with other birds and truly enjoys
human companionship. The friendly behavior of the domestic Double Yellow Head clearly stems
from the fact that in the wild this is a very social bird. In the wild, this bird is seen living in large
groups. Sometimes the groups will exceed numbers of 100 or more! In addition to being friendly, this
bird is also faithful and will form lifelong bonds with its mate in the wild. Being a social creature,
the Double Yellow Head, like many Amazons, is a vocal parrot. If you are looking for a quiet
companion this fellow is definitely not for you. Amazons in general are loud, and the Double Yellow
Head is no exception to this rule. It is not unusual to be awoken with loud screeches emanating from
your Yellow Head's cage as he greets the day. They are typically loudest in the morning and at dusk.
Often, simply covering your parrot's cage will quiet this sometimes, annoying behavior. Their
vocalizations are not limited to screeching. The Double Yellow Headed Amazon is well known for
his talking ability. There are no guarantees that your Double Yellow Head will be a talker, but
generally the Double Yellow Headed Amazon is considered to be one of the best talkers among
Amazons, and quite possibly one of the best within the entire parrot group! The Double Yellow Head
has a strong, willful personality and needs an owner with a like personality. They are very smart and
will test their owners. Their intelligence gives them a comical personality that is rarely hidden from
strangers. They are not shy and love to perform to an audience. Because this parrot is so intelligent,
you must never let him become bored. He loves the stimulation of an assortment of toys, and must be
given plenty of room to stretch his expansive wings. In addition to playing with toys, this parrot also
has a great love of climbing and his cage should provide adequate room for this beloved activity.
One of the largest Amazons, the Double Yellow Headed Amazon will reach 15-16 inches (38-41cm)
at maturity. His wingspan averages eight to nine inches (205-235mm). The most distinguishing
feature of the Double Yellow Headed is his bright yellow head. The yellow coloring does not reside
merely on the top of the head, lores, or nape, but covers his entire head, extending to the sides and
back of his head, as well as to his throat. Most of his body is covered in green feathers that are often
tipped in black. The green feathers, which cover his body, are often mixed with yellow and some
even exhibit a reddish margin. The yellow feathers are generally more prominent in males than
females. The breast and abdomen typically possess no yellow feathers and are generally only green.
In addition to a yellow head and random yellow feathers, the inside of the Yellow Head's thighs are
also yellow, and pretty red feathers are generally seen in the bend of the wing, also mixed with
yellow. This gives a very striking effect when the wings are opened to their full glory.
Originating in the Pacific slope of Mexico, specifically Colima, the Double Yellow Headed Amazon
is also seen in Guerrero and Michoacan (western region). In spite of his Mexican origins, the Double
Yellow Headed Amazon is commonly seen in households all over the world. He is one of the most
popular among all the Amazon species
