Yellow-Crowned Amazon Parrots are generally well behaved and considered to be kid-friendly. They are a great addition to any household. Highly intelligent and talkative.
Physical Description: The Yellow-Crowned Amazon averages 10-13 inches from head to tip of its tappered tail. The plumage of the Yellow-Crown is mostly green. Yellow markings are found on the crown of the bird. The color of the yellow crown is not as vivid a yellow as is found on the DYH Amazon. The wings of this bird are beautiful with its primary and secondary feathers possessing a violet-blue at the tips and outer webs and they have red markings at the bend of the wing. Their beautiful blue and red markings are typically not seen when the bird is perched. This bird has a dark bill with a large horn or reddish spot on the upper mandible.
Average Lifespan: Yellow-Crowned Amazons average lifespan is 35-50 years in captivity.
Sexing: Like most Amazons, this bird is not sexually dimorphic therefore a DNA test must be performed to determine sexing.
Origin: East Central and south-eastern Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana and the northern and eastern Amazon Basin in Brazil.
Loudness: The Yellow-Crown is an even tempered Amazon, and as a result they make excellent pets. Like most birds they will have a “calling” time usually in the morning or early evening hours. They are good talkers and as a result there boisterous calls are typically in that of a human voice. This bird can be loud so if you are sensitive to the sounds of an active pet this may not be your bird, however they can make up for their loudness with loyalty and love.
Trainability: The Yellow-Crown Amazon is known for its playful antics and talking abilities. Their playful and friendly personalities make them excellent pets. They are an easily trained bird and are known to be very active. If given the space to play and move they can live a very healthy and playful life. Like all Amazons, the Yellow-Crown loves to chew so it is very important to make sure that they have sufficient safe toys consisting of combinations of wood, leather and other natural products to keep them occupied. Don’t worry if your bird destroys his toys – that is a sign of a healthy and happy bird.
Pricing: A well-socialized, weaned baby will cost $1,000 or more.
Health Guarantee of Our Birds
We have the strongest bird guarantee in the country, and more importantly, we stand behind our guarantee. The guarantee is simple: We guarantee that we are selling you a perfectly healthy bird. To verify that guarantee, within five days you need to go to an Avian Vet and get any and all testing you prefer to do on your bird, at your expense. We can guide you as to the tests we suggest. If the results are not perfect but the bird can be easily treated, then we pay for all medications and all treatment. If the results are unacceptable then we either replace your bird or refund 100% of the purchase price of your bird, at our option.
Bird Guarantee only lasts for the first five days
Since we have 100% control over the bird's environment at our store, but have no control over the bird once it leaves, we can only guarantee the bird for the first five days. We guarantee that when the bird leaves the store that it has been properly socialized, and that it is 100% healthy. Your new bird has been given an excellent start here at Golden Cockatoo, and it is now your responsibility to properly care for your bird. We are always here to help you take the best care of your bird with the biggest variety and best quality bird products available in the world.
Lifetime Guarantee on our Birds
We guarantee that if during your lifetime, you are no longer able to properly care for your bird, or give your bird the attention it need's, we will accept the bird back on consignment and will find another great home for your bird. We do take a 40% commission and charge a nominal daily fee to feed and clean, but you can rest assured that you always have a place for your bird should the need arise. We are the only store in Florida to offer this guarantee as of the year 2000.
