Description
The Orange Winged Amazon is a large amazon parrot. It is a resident in tropical South America, from Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago south to Peru, Bolivia and Central Brazil. Its habitat is forest and semi-open country.
Amazons are very animated and can learn how to talk quite well but can also be a bit noisy.
What do you expect from your Amazon? When you bring one home, you expect him to be friendly, be a good talker, be intelligent, and give you unconditional love and companionship. This is what you want and this is what you can have. You need to treat your Amazon the same when you first get him as you would a year from now. They are highly intelligent creatures who can give you much pleasure and fun, but at the same time can be noisy and aggressive if not socialized properly and spoiled too much. They will love you and sometimes get too attached to just you. They love interaction. Smaller amazons are a bit more sociable with strangers than the larger ones, but the larger ones will still be good with others if you work with them. This is why you will need for the whole family to be able to hold and play with the bird. They bond very strongly to one owner.
Bari –
I have a Orange-Winged and I adore him. The listing says hey are large Amazons but in fact, they are one of the smaller ones. They are not talkers but Journey is quite vocal. I also have Cocker Spaniels and yet Journey can “meow”. I’m baffled but delighted. He was well bred and taken care of until Journey came home with me.
Having grown up with a Red Lored Amazon I was prepared for another one.
The staff at the Santa Monica store (Natalie) have provided Journey the best care when boarded. He loves going there and they love to have him.❤️
