Amazon Lilac crown behavior

The Lilac Crown Amazon is a favorite among many, and it's not surprising. This parrot has a sweet disposition and is quite lovely to behold. In addition, he is also an intelligent companion that will provide his owners with many years of happiness.

Best known for his even-tempered disposition, the Lilac Crown Amazon is a favorite among parrot fanciers. They tend to be more shy than some of the other Amazon species. There are two commonly recognized species of Lilac Crown Amazon - the standard Lilac Crown Amazon, also called 'Finsch's Amazon' (Amazona Finschi Finschi), and the Sonora Lilac Crowned Amazon (Amazona Finschi Woodi). The first species will be discussed here. The Lilac Crown Amazon is not as well known for talking as other Amazons, such as the Double Yellow Headed Amazon, but some maintain he is a good talker. Others hold that he usually is not much of a talker, but some will make surprisingly chatty companions. Several owners of Lilac Crown Amazons claim their Lilac Crowns not only talk, but they sing! It is held that the chances for talking are greatly increased if you raise your Lilac Crown Amazon from a baby. There are of course never any guarantees about talking ability. Even if your Lilac Crown Amazon never utters a word he is still a wonderful pet. Lilac Crown Amazons do well in homes with families. If they are socialized well from an early age, they tend to get along well with all family members; this is often not the case with many Amazons. The Lilac Crowned Amazon displays a very even temperament that stays throughout adulthood. Some other breeds of Amazon become very aggressive as they reach sexual maturity. The Lilac Crown may display a little bad behavior during his sexual maturity, but in most cases, it passes very quickly. Their even temperament makes them a great choice in family households. Like other Amazons, the Lilac Crown Amazon can be noisy. If you want a quiet companion the Lilac Crown Amazon is not the pet for you. The Lilac Crown takes great pleasure from making his jungle noises and he should never be forbidden to do so. Another love of the Lilac Crown Amazon is chewing. You should provide your Lilac Crown with a variety of toys in their play area to chew on. The average lifespan of the Lilac Crowned Amazon is between 40 and 60 years depending on care and diet.
