Yellow-headed amazon

Double yellow-headed Amazon Talking: at the very top for Amazons, and a capable singer. Noise: loud, and among the noisier Amazons. Lifespan: commonly 40 to 50 years. The double yellow-head rivals the yellow-nape for speech and picks up a tune after hearing it a few times. It also brings the full Amazon package: a big voice, bursts of squawking early and late in the day, and a personality that can swing from playful to feisty and hard-headed. This is a bird for a house rather than an apartment, and for an owner who enjoys a strong character more than a quiet companion.
