7 things to know before welcoming a Orange-winged Amazon

1Can Be Quite Vocal
Like other Amazon parrots, Orange-winged Amazons can be quite loud, especially around dawn and dusk. If you live in an apartment or close to neighbors, it's worth considering how their calls might carry.
2Talented Talker and Mimic
Orange-winged Amazons are known for mimicking speech and household sounds, and they genuinely enjoy interacting with their people. Regular talking, play, and attention help build a strong bond over time.
3A Multi-Decade Commitment
With a lifespan of roughly 30 to 50 years, an Orange-winged Amazon is a long-term commitment that can span much of your adult life. Consider how future changes in your lifestyle might affect their care before bringing one home.
4Chewing Habits and Cage Setup
Curious and playful, they enjoy chewing, so sturdy perches and toys can help keep them occupied and settled. Choose a cage roomy enough for their adult size of 31-33cm so they can fully stretch their wings.
5A Balanced, Varied Diet
A diet based on quality pellets supplemented with fresh vegetables and fruit supports good health. Some human foods are unsafe for parrots, so it's important to check before offering anything new.
6Routine Health Checks
Get into the habit of watching for small daily changes in preening, appetite, and droppings. It's a good idea to find an avian-experienced vet in advance, so you're prepared if a health concern arises.
7Prepare the Environment First
Setting up the cage, perches, and toys before your bird arrives makes the transition smoother. While this species adapts well to new environments, giving them some quiet time to settle in is still important.
