An independent and affectionate friend
The Orange Winged Amazon parrot is an independent, playful bird that has a distinctive orange color on his wings, crown, cheeks, and tail.
Someone once said (we’re not sure who) that, “If African Greys are the college intellectuals, then Amazons are the class clowns!” We completely agree.
Orange-Winged Amazons are better at mimicking than talking and can be more temperamental than the Blue-Fronted Amazons, but are not as temperamental as the Yellow species of Amazons. They can be very affectionate and many are said to be friendly and clever.
There you will find more in-depth information about Amazons and how the group as a whole relates to humans.
If you are an experienced bird owner and can handle the loud vocal ability of the Amazon, then the Orange Winged Amazon parrot might be the right pet bird for you.
