For friends who raise parrots, there is a parrot dream, that is, to raise a parrot that makes others envious and satisfied. Among the many parrots, if people want to keep the most, it should be the Amazon parrot.
Why?
First, let's talk about their appearance. The Amazon parrot looks very handsome. Most of the body is green in color. There is a yellow crown on the top of the head, like a hat. Therefore, people gave it a nickname: "Little Yellow Hat".
The second and main reason should be their ability to speak.
One of the main training purposes of many people raising parrots is to hope that they can talk and interact better with us. As an Amazon parrot whose ability to speak can rank in the top three in the parrot world, in terms of appearance, the individual is moderate, smaller than the macaw, and the color is better than the gray parrot. In terms of sound, amazon parrots have a lower sound quality, are slightly coarse, and can change their tone when pronounced, so the imitated human voice is more like. Macaws are too loud and generally not suitable for indoor breeding, and it is said that more than 90% of the population in the United States will give up after two years of raising macaws. The gray parrot's voice is too hoarse, and the sound is not as good as the Amazon parrot' voice, so there is no doubt that the Amazon parrot is the first choice.
Speaking of the ability to speak, we have to mention, why do parrots make our human voices?
The reason is that parrots have relatively large mouths and thick tongues, and their song tubes are very special and different from other birds, the walls of their song tubes are thin film-shaped, and they can easily make sounds when air flows to the sound tubes. The peripheral part of the vocal tube is muscular, and the parrot uses the contraction and relaxation of the muscles to change the shape of the vocal tube, thus making a different sound. There is also their high intelligence, which is more powerful for imitation and memory, and can quickly learn people's language and even sing.
For Amazon parrots they are the best learning stage between six months and two years of age. Other parrots do not enter the best language state until they are almost one year old.
There is also a small reason
That is, amazon parrots have fewer artificial breeding in China, so if you can raise an Amazon parrot, you can show it with other bird friends. Greatly satisfy your own vanity.
Although the Amazon parrot has strong speaking ability, pronunciation standards, beautiful appearance, easy to raise and so many advantages, but if you want to start, there is still a certain degree of difficulty, first, now artificial breeding is relatively small, it is difficult to find a formal way, refuse to introduce through informal channels. Second, the price of such parrots is relatively high, generally more than 10,000 yuan, which is not acceptable to the average player.
So for those friends who want to raise them, do what they can. I hope that one day when their populations are too numerous to count, then we will be able to achieve our parrot dreams!
