Adopt an Amazon in Toronto & the GTA
Boisterous, brainy showbirds that love an audience.
Amazon parrots are confident, comedic performers — strong talkers and singers who genuinely enjoy entertaining a room. They're long-lived (40+ years), food-motivated, and prone to obesity without exercise, so an adopter who loves training sessions is ideal. Adult Amazons can be hormonal and opinionated in spring; experienced handling makes all the difference.

Are Amazons good talkers?
Among the best — many Amazons sing entire songs (opera is a cliché for a reason) and pick up phrases fast. Yellow-naped and double yellow-headed Amazons are especially renowned.
What should I know about Amazon behaviour?
Amazons telegraph their moods clearly — flared tails, pinning eyes — and they expect you to read them. During spring hormones, adult males especially need respectful, experienced handling.
How do I keep an Amazon healthy?
Watch the waistline: Amazons love rich food and will happily get fat. Pellets and vegetables over seed, foraging toys, and daily out-of-cage exercise keep them in shape for their long lives.
