Yellow-Crowned Amazon

The Yellow-Crowned Amazon Parrot aka Yellow-fronted Amazon (Amazona ocrocephala) is native to the rainforest areas of Northern South and Central America. The average length of this parrot, with its short, squarish tail, is 13 to 15 inches (33 to 38 cm). Like the majority of Amazons, it has primarily green plumage with rainbow markings scattered throughout. Yellow markings can be visible at the crown, lores (the patches on the side of a bird's head between the eyes and bill), and thighs, and on rare occasions, in the regions around the eyes.

They are among the family of Amazon parrots' best talkers. The capacity to speak just depends on various elements, such as the environment in which one lives and the frequency of one's interactions with people. The powerful voice of yellow-crowned Amazons is another characteristic. Additionally, they have a long life - more than 60 years.
