Amazon Blue Fronted Health Information

Blue-Fronted Amazon Parrots should be kept in a cage that is at least 24inches x 26inches x 24inches, though larger is better. They should also be provided with lots of toys, especially things they can climb on or chew. The diet of the Blue-Fronted Amazon in captivity should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as a good commercial pelleted diet. They may also be given some nuts and seeds, though like most Amazons, the Blue Front is prone to obesity so seeds should be kept to a minimum. And for this same reason their diet should be low in fat.

Blue-Fronted Amazons adore the water and may enjoy being bathed. To keep them from escaping, six or seven of their flight feathers can be trimmed. The tips of their toenails should also be kept trimmed.

Breeding
Blue-Fronted Amazons breed between October and March. The female usually lays a clutch of around four eggs, which she incubates for between 28 and 30 days. The fledgling birds usually venture out on their own when they are fifty or sixty days old.
