They are also seen in tropical deciduous forests. These are social parrots that live in large flocks. They are known for being quite loud both in the wild and in captivity. Noisiness is not uncommon in many of the larger parrot species. All Amazon parrots are prone to obesity so be careful not to feed a staple diet of seeds, which can be very fattening.

The Mexican Red Headed Parrot is reported to lack the extreme mood swings of other Amazons, this makes him of much more even temperament.
