The Amazon Parrot talks so much that many people have wondered if they are just mimicking their owners and not actually speaking. Research, however, has upheld that they are actually speaking and that they are very intelligent.
Amazon Parrots are very energetic, playful and demand a lot of attention from their human owners. They are also known for their strong and sometimes moody characteristics. At different times they can be any of these: calm, cuddly, loud, quiet, stubborn, silly, jealous, playfully aggressive, or irritable.
You can Train Amazon Parrots to enjoy daily activities with you such as, roller skating, skateboarding, golfing, bowling, getting groceries, making a meal, and setting the table. You will be constantly amazed by the talent of your Amazon Parrot.
Amazon's need discipline. They need to be taught what is and what is not acceptable behavior. An example of this would be teaching your Amazon Parrot to stay on your wrist or forearm and not to run up to your shoulder.
When they are on the shoulder, they are higher up and that can bring out their aggressive behavior. So it is important to work with them a lot and keep them on your wrist and forearm.
