amazon parrot The Amazon parrot is a favored among bird owners for many reasons and for many years. This is because these birds make ideal pets if you want a parrot that is affectionate, playful, loving, and intelligent. Amazons have the ability to learn speech and even to learn some cognitive reasoning. This means they can actually respond to you by reasoning out answers. There are different types of Amazons, and the most common ones you will see are the basic green variety.

However, there is one type of the bird that will certainly stand out for its beauty and unique coloring. This is the blue fronted Amazon. There are two different types of blue fronted Amazons, but both are known for their beauty and unique appearance. These two types include the Brazilian Blue Front and the Yellow Wing.

The Brazilian Blue Front is a bird that hails from the Eastern parts of Brazil. This bird includes green feathers that have an iridescent blue cast on the bird’s head, chest and neck. The bird will also have red tips on the feathers at the bend in its wings. The Brazilian Blue Front will have a predominately blue color from its head, down its chest, all the way to its tail.

The Yellow Wing looks a bit different from the Brazilian Blue Front. This bird will have more of a yellow cast to its feathers over all. It will have several spots of bright yellow, often seen on its face, tail, and wing tips. There may even be more yellow on the bird’s chest. This bird falls into the category of a blue fronted Amazon because it will have the blue casted feathers on the face. However, the blue may be more subtle, only appearing right on the face or at times extending down the neck.

These birds can also be cross bred to create a new and unique look to them. However, they will always have some level of blue tinged feathers on the face, neck, throat or belly. You may see that there are blue fronted Amazons that are yellow all over except just a few blue feathers. You may even see birds that have all blue feathers with just a few that are yellow or green. These color mutations are all created by breeders, and are not found in the wild.

Both types are medium sized birds, reaching about 15 inches in length when full grown. Both types of birds are known for their ability to be quite intelligent. If you own a blue fronted Amazon, you will find that you can teach it to talk quite easily. You will even be able to teach it to answer your questions and respond to environmental situations. Do not be surprised if your bird tells you to be quiet or turn off the lights.

Blue fronted Amazons are beautiful and unique birds. If you want a parrot that is striking in color but also intelligent and affectionate, then you may want to consider choosing the blue fronted Amazon.
