Parrots are wildly popular as a pet because of their beauty, grace and intelligence.
Parrot care, when done properly brings years of joy, happiness and entertainment.
Unknown to most, there are hundreds of different parrot sub-species ranging from those as small as 3.
2 inches found in New Guinea to gigantic ones 3.
3 feet in length found in Central and South America.
  The Yellow Parrot, one of the most popular pet parrots, is one of the several visually-stunning ones found in the forests of Central America.
Otherwise known as the Yellow-headed Parrot or Yellow-headed Amazon, it's endemic to forests and mangroves along the rivers of Central American countries.
Its stocky body, which can grow to a foot and half in length, is actually mostly light green in color with yellow plumage on its head.
  The Yellow Parrot's wings are relatively shorter compared with its brethren but it is still nevertheless beautiful with patches of scarlet and bright blue on its shoulders and wings.
Their shriek while in the wild sounds human-like.
Unlike most other parrots, these parrots don't make a sound when they're flying.
  Parrot care for the Yellow-headed Amazon is a serious matter because it craves company.
If it is alone in its cage, it will seek attention from members of the household instead.
It expresses this by shrieks and sounds throughout the day, so if you live in some place with neighbors close by, forget about getting this kind of parrot.
The yellow parrot has a sub-species which are bred for more yellow plumage and fetches a higher price.
Called "Magna", they are as popular as they are rare.
  Same as most other parrots, Yellow Parrots can only be bought if they aren't caught in the wild.
Strict laws aimed at preserving forests and wildlife only allow the sale of captive-bred Yellow-headed Amazons.
They are almost as talkative as the African Grey (the most known for human speech) and love to play around and interact with their owner.
One advantage the Yellow Parrot has over the African Grey is that it doesn't usually pluck its own feathers out when it feels stress or fear.
They can be aggressive however when it's breeding season so it's best to give them some space during these times.
