Do Amazon Parrots Make The Best Pets? Even Tho They Are Loud?

[@jennygallaher5458]

Thanks for sharing, I agree, my Amazon is amazingly sweet, loves children and is quiet! My best companion !

[@ParrotBliss]

They are best companions!

[@keytronic]

My amazon is legit my best friend. No matter what I can always count on his little laughs to make me feel better when no person can.

[@ParrotBliss]

They are amazing companions!

[@MostDecentNA]

I have a red crowned and yellow crowned, both arrived as juveniles. The red is noisy, nippy, excitable, and enjoys the company of other parrots, while the yellow is mellow, gentle, patient, and only has eyes for me. I’m trying to get him accustomed to other people so he isn’t overly bonded with me, but at the moment it’s a very special feeling. I never had birds as a child or young adult, and I never realized what I was missing. Amazons are like having a pet, child, and best friend all bundled up in feathers ❤

[@ParrotBliss]

That's a good description, they are like a pet, child and best friend all at once! Do the Red-crowned and Yellow get along?

[@Loveofpets]

What a beautiful Amazon. Does he sing? I see a lot of videos of them singing opera, lol

[@ParrotBliss]

Hi! How’s your baby Tiel? Our Amazon, Henry, sings opera! Got to get him on film. Not easy!

[@jojo1828v]

That was great! You made her growly noise and she did the same thing, very cute! I was showing my violet ringneck this video and he was fascinated, got closer to see! I think Lorenza has a fan 😄 I had an Amazon years ago and he was a very good bird but he Hercules did exactly what he wanted to do and when he wanted to do it. I think it's the Amazon way.

[@ParrotBliss]

Lorenza is thrilled to have a fan! Yeah, they do what they want!

[@OnTheRightTrackNow]

I was always told if you want to snuggle, get a puppy, not a parrot. I have a yellow naped Amazon who just turned 40 this March. She likes nothing better than to snuggle under a blanket, have her head and neck rubbed, and will literally turn her head, bury it into her back feathers, and fall asleep right on me. My male Sun Conure, on the other hand, is EXTREMELY loud....and needy

[@ParrotBliss]

Your Amazon sounds amazing- your Sun Conure would be less needy and quieter if he had another Sun Conure 😀

[@floridamadman59]

You are so lucky to have such a bind!

[@ParrotBliss]

I’m grateful- she’s special to me

I am very fond of Amazon parrots. Love your book also. Thanks for sharing your videos 🦜😎

[@ParrotBliss]

Ben, we have Amazon blood! Amazon like me 😀 when I was getting Henry (Mealy), Keri pointed out that they were welcoming to me. Blessed, I am, but a little scared of Amazons (beaks) I don’t know!

[@michaelhornby2961]

I posted a comment a year back regarding our orange winged amazon. The bond between me and oscar is quite incredible he is without shadow the most cuddly and lovable bird you could wish for (with me) he will happily fly to and sit comfortably with my wife and glad to say their bond has got better, he will however pick me every time unless my wife is eating something lol. The beak power and general amazon typical biteyness takes a lot of getting used to but with persistence its well worth the effort.

[@ParrotBliss]

That is so heart-warming to hear! Amazons love deeply- congrats

[@hamesrm1]

my boy was a orange winged as well , he was easy to tame and love ppl for the most part just wanted all the attention ...he was very vocal as well and nothing would make him more happy than listening to loud music specially hip hop for some reason

[@amirah77ful]

I would love an Amazon. There is one at the pet store that’s been there for years and I want to snatch him up. The only problem is their noise and my children that he could possibly bite. I would love to know more about when and what you feed all your parrots. Maybe a morning routine showing them all? :)

[@ParrotBliss]

Morning routine vid- will work on it 😀- unfortunately, I agree. If you have children I would recommend a sweeter bird, like a Green-cheek Conure or a cockatiel. Or, if you want a bigger parent, and you have the money, a Golden Conure would be the best. They are so affectionate! Would be good with kids.

[@shirahsheartbeats]

lorenza is amazing and blessed to have you. when you said about the bond with bigger parrots being special, i remembered my great dane dog(which was just huge)..he also chose me and it was the most beautiful gift i could have in my tenage years. i had other animals and pets, but with that huge gentle dog was just different. now i have a green cheek conure and even she is tinny, she is very bond to us.recently she started to ..talk?! she says come here very clear and mumbles how are you and whachudoing? these are stuff i say most of the day to her, but i did not expect it. i find her vocals and talking more than repetitions..like really trying to communicate. in the morning she wakes us up with "come here" and giving kisses..not with a scream. we are grateful 😅

[@arthurmartin0724]

LOVE Y'ALL CAN Y'ALL WHISTLE?

[@michaelhornby2961]

We have ten birds including caiques, conures, and our most recent, an orange winged amazon male. He is pretty much as you describe being very bonded to me especially. He will let my wife interact and get scritches etc but you can tell he's always wary of other people including my wife, and definitely shows preference to being on me over my partner. It will be interesting to see over the next year or so how he settles in. he's only about 8 months old and I'd say hes handled equally by both of us. I definitely agree the bigger bird bond and especially with the amazon is noticable.. They are incredibly smart and affectionate, and their eyes flashing away when their brains are ticking away is mesmerising.

[@maxmanus4637]

How has your experience with him so far? Been easier to socialize with others?

[@michaelhornby2961]

When im not around my wife has persisted with kindness despite the bluffing and biting, and im happy to say hes now become a lot better with her and doesnt just insist on me being around, even to the point recently of bending his head down for scritches off her etc. shes very comfortable with our amazon now whilst im not around so clearly persistence has endured. I suppose the trick learnt from her interaction is not to punish or act scared and just to baby step the interactions gradually.

[@BirdieMcLovin]

Yep pretty much all true lol. I got suckered into adopting a blue fronted Amazon because all he wanted was me. Then he met my daughter and now I’m on the receiving end of the bites 😮😅!

[@ParrotBliss]

Yeap! But I bet he’s awesome with you, right?

[@joellekarma]

Great Video, I would say Sun Conures are the loudest parrot. I feel my baby Sun Conure chose me. When I went to go see him when he was still in pinfeathers, He sat in my hand he snuggles to my chest and jut looked up at me. My Mom was in the hospital in another city from having a major stroke. The two months I was at the hospital, I would go and see my baby. I feel parrots are so smart and do choose their human. You can really see she loves you. My one sun Conure who passed away hated everyone and would attack people that visited me. Great video Keep sharing videos of you feather babies.

[@nickbailey5201]

Yh I have 2 jendays that are around the same noise level as sun's and my female is adorable my male is fine with me but has recently started attacking my friends lol my jendays are so loud when they scream when I come home but they get lower their voices once out I read that nandays are the loudest at around 140-155 decibels sun's and jendays come second at around 120 decibels but I'm not sure if these are the loudest parrots or just the loudest conures

[@nickbailey5201]

So I just went and read up a little more apparently nandays are the loudest parrot amazon's are around the same as sun's and jendays ranging from 120 to slightly above at 125 depending on the species I'd guess

[@ParrotBliss]

Yes, this is why I don't have these Conures. Amazons in my ears are enough! LOL!

[@nickbailey5201]

@@ParrotBliss haha agreed my jendays are definitely very loud on the ears I think it's the pitch that hurts more can be very high pitched screams that get deep into your ear lol my favourite birds when it comes to quietness is my kakariki and my plum head my plumhead is almost silent he's coming along nicely with taming tho and I talk to him constantly also my jendays are learning the kakariki laughing sort of sound that he makes I heard them do it for first time when they went bed the other night also I think one of my mountain parakeets is a bit old as she seems to just potter around on the floor and she only goes up on the perch at night to sleep with the others she just seems to be acting a little strange so I'm keeping my eye on her

[@Gmtail]

I am fortunate that my DYH Amazon has allowed my wife to handle him. It took a few years, but she can 80% handle him. I can also have others pet him, which took even more time, but he's usually with me on the dock and boat, so he's gotten used to seeing lots. of different people. I still warn them that he can and will likely bite, but every time we go out it's gets a tad better.

[@ParrotBliss]

That is fantastic! Yes, socializing a parrot is important. In my Amazon flock, it comes down to personalities. Some are better than others at making other friends

[@drakegao1]

Hi, I like your videos. I would like to know where is the best recourse online to purchase or adopt a big Parrot, Amazon, Cockatoo, Macaw. I am struggling to find one. I know I have commented on many videos, but I really want to know the answers. I am living in Maryland. Thanks.

[@ParrotBliss]

Hi- Contact me through my website, ParrotBliss.com - I have Blue-headed macaw babies now, or if you want a different species, like an Amazon, I’ll recommend someone reliable because I hate scams 😃- and I love my viewers. Thank you for watching, liking, and commenting.

That's it, you did it. I'm getting an amazon. (Seriously, I just put down a deposit). I had a blue front when I was young, she lived for 30 years, she was my best friend. I'm not bothered by their loudness, it's only at certain times and I solve this by joining in.

[@ParrotBliss]

[@soniabethel3971]

Pretty girl ❤️❤️

[@vhg7]

That's true, for the most part, that Amazons tend to me a one-person bird, but this trait varies with the species. They are moody, though, during breeding season and the hot three that are most tempermental are the Yellow-naped, Double Yellow-Headed, and Blue Fronted. I agree that they do choose their owner, or person to bond with, which makes it difficult to find a sitter or someone to take care of them when their favorite person is not around. If you're looking for an all-around friendly parrot for the family, a cockatoo is a better choice but they are super noisy and give off a lot of dust.

[@AnthonyWiley-si6jg]

I don’t know if Amazon’s can take a finger off and I don’t wanna find out that is funny😂

[@ParrotBliss]

I bet they could- and I don't want to find out either!

[@Bingos_mom]

I came to this video because a friends daughter wants to find a new home for her Blue Front Amazon… 🤔 I have 6 birds. 4 stay in one room (smaller birds) but the Amazon would be in the main living space where I also have my 2 Caiques. I had very minimal problems adding the second Caique. So questions what is the likelihood that the Caiques and Amazon can share the same living space? I would love to adopt him but not at risk of my other birds. Im still asking lots of questions of the prior owner.

[@ParrotBliss]

I can’t say exactly. My Amazon is often in the same room with my Caiques, but she ignores them (and anyone else). The Amazon may be very happy to be around other birds. I’d love an update to hear what you do.

I am a new Amazon owner...I have him for about 3 months but he still doesn't like to be touched I sometimes manage to touch his beak but I can see he is not happy about it..for a treat he will put just one foot on my hand but I can't really make him do a step up haha..If i put food further away so he needs to get up he gets angry and one time he bit me..last week or two he started screaming for about 20 min a day...uf that's something....he is out of his cage every day and flies around but not much I think he is just noisy so he moves around to see what we are doing..the guy who had him he said he only eats seed diet and thats it...he is now I guess around 6 months or maybe a little more..I try to give him fruit and veggies but he doesn't like everything and doesn't eat much of it..I tried to shower him a bit with a spray bottle and he is starting to spread his wings so I guess that's better or he is just extremely annoyed...I can tell I'm a bit scared of him sometimes it's like I have 3 birds - crazy, sleepy, normal XD and yeah he doesn't play with anyhing..he is scared of everything, different clothes, piece of paper, everything..but he will take treat from anyone

[@ParrotBliss]

Be patient, give him 2 years to adjust. Keep offering the fresh foods, he WILL change in time. Opening his wings means he is taking a shower, do this a couple of times a week. Don't push him, let him come out of his shell. Again, give him 2 years. It's not easy for them to undo their past and learn to love and trust again- keep me updated

[@nickbailey5201]

Great vid I've been reading a bit and apparently nanday conures are the loudest parrot and amazon's are around the same as sun's and jendays at around 120 decibels

I understand Cockatoos to be the loudest, no? Didn’t know Nandays were so loud- but Conures are known for being loud!

[@nickbailey5201]

@@ParrotBliss I think cockatoos come second place after the nanday at 135 decibels but the cockatoos make loud noises a lot more often so I think they're not as loud but are noisier in general and amazon's were 3rd at 120-125 depending on species then sun's and jendays were 120
