Diet
They need a balanced diet that includes fresh vegetables, sprouts, shoots and high quality pellets. A mixture of healthy grains and nuts in small amounts is also a need in their diet. It is important to avoid feeding them fatty or sugary foods, as this can cause health problems. Fresh water should be available at all times.
Housing and care
Yellow double-headed parrots need a spacious cage at least 36x26x30 with plenty of toys, foraging and perches for play and exercise. Regular outings from their cage, and the opportunity to fly, are essential to their overall well-being. Amazons also need socialization, education and interaction with their owners, so it is important to spend time with them every day. Give them the opportunity to take a bath 2-3 times a week as well as a minimum of 10 hours of sleep.
The yellow double headed Amazon is a very playful, endearing, good talker and loves to have all the attention and move air. Silence is not in his personality be warned.
