Amazon Parrot cage and daily life
Give a minimum cage around 36 x 24 x 48 inches (90 x 60 x 120 cm) with bar spacing of 3/4-1 inch, plus several hours of supervised out-of-cage time daily. Amazons are powerful chewers and foragers, so provide destructible wood toys and foraging puzzles. Expect loud vocalizing, especially at dawn and dusk, and keep the cage out of kitchens because overheated nonstick (PTFE/Teflon) cookware fumes can kill a bird within minutes.
Common mistakes with Amazon Parrots
The deadliest routine errors are a seed-only diet leading to fatty liver disease, exposure to Teflon/aerosol fumes, and buying one on impulse without accepting the noise and half-century commitment, which drives surrender, screaming, and feather-plucking. Ignoring hormonal-season behavior changes and skipping annual avian vet checks are close runners-up.
