Description
Double Yellow-Headed Amazons are excellent talkers and frequently sing very well too!
The Double Yellow-headed Amazon is generally green with paler, more yellowish on the under parts. The entire head and throat are yellow and the bend of the wing is red with some yellow mixed in. The carpal edge and thighs are yellow. The ring around the eye is unfeathered and white. The iris of the eye is orange and the beak is horned colored turning gray towards the base on the upper mandible.The immature bird has only a patch of yellow on the forehead with maybe a dappling of yellow across the rest of the head, and less red at the bend of the wing. The completely yellow head of mature birds takes place through molting over a period of about 4 years.Yellow-headed Amazons are surprisingly heavy bodied. Mature birds are a bit larger than other Yellow-crowned Amazons , these Amazons reach 15 -17 inches (38- 43 cm) long from the head to the tip of the tail. Maturity is considered in the 4 – 5 year range and the life span for these creatures is 60 – 80 years.
Social Behaviors
The Yellow Headed Amazon enjoys human interaction as well as interaction with other birds. In the wild they are very social birds living in groups with the available food supply determining the size of the group. Many times there are several hundred seen in a group. They also form permanent pairs when they are sexually mature. However, they are also seen singly in the wild, which may be the reason for their more independent nature.
If you are looking for a quiet, shy, timid bird, this amazon is not for you. It is a highly social bird who loves to be the center of attention. They will learn tricks, and learn to play tricks on you. They look forward to interaction and games and will provide you with many fun moments and a lot of laughter.

You guys are doing a great work! I have purchased from here twice and it has been a pleasure. As a small business owner myself I know how it feels to have to wear many hats. Its such a wonderful job not only in raising her healthy beauties, but also taking the time to give guidance and advice when asked.

WoW what a beautiful Bird AKA ToTo the newest member of our family. Worth the wait and money! My Husband and I searched high and low for a reputable Breeder! We came across a multitude of SCAMMERS on the INTERNET in this Country! We found these breeders in Marietta GA. We did our research and it’s TRUE. This it’s a legitimate Quality Breeder. The journey started after we lost our precious Moluccan “Pikachu” of 22 years. We were devastated! So we started looking for Not a replacement, but a new member to our family and Boy we did. After DNA and Medical testing we flew from San Diego to GA to meet and the bird ToTo in person for the first time. We were very impressed with her facility!! A TOP NOTCH OPERATION! Thank you !
