Amazon Parrots - Intelligent, loud - and full of joy of life
Species-appropriate husbandry – How to make them feel comfortable
Never alone!
Amazon parrots are highly social birds and should be kept at least in pairs – ideally in a well-harmonizing small group.
Aviary with Flight Potential
The aviary should be at least 300 × 100 × 200 cm in size – with a floor area of at least 4 m² for up to two birds. For each additional pair: +50% area.
Daily Free Flight Required
Amazon parrots need several hours of free flight daily – at least 8 m³ of safe flight space for up to two pairs.
Promote Mental Fitness
Gnawing material, climbing ropes, puzzle toys, fresh branches, and bathing opportunities provide variety and prevent boredom.
Cleanliness & Hygiene
🧼 Weekly cleaning
💦 Focus on health
Amazon parrots are sensitive to germs and mold, which is why consistent hygiene in their living area is essential. Cleanliness not only supports feather care but also respiratory health.
Clean Daily Routine
Food remnants, droppings, and soiled litter must be removed daily. This is the only way to keep the aviary and air fresh and germ-free.
Thorough Care
Replace the substrate and clean the perches once a week. This reduces germs, protects the respiratory tract, and keeps the plumage healthy.
Hygiene Protects
Cleanliness prevents mold and infections. A well-maintained environment is crucial for the health, well-being, and vitality of Amazon parrots.
