| Description: Simply put, My all time favorite of all species of
amazons: Mike, owner: Royal Bird Company
I own a Yellow Nape, LORETTA has over 100 word vocabulary, sings
opera, Spanish and English. I have never seen even
one that
did not become an excellent talker. They are fantastic
for talking ability. African Greys may be good
talkers, but let me tell you this, I have never seen
not even one Yellow Nape that did not want to perform,
talk, sing, etc, no not even one. But, I have seen
many African Greys that simply were very disappointing.
But that is the difference in the nature of two
species.
The Yellow Naped Amazon when a baby or very young will
be mostly green in color and has little or no yellow on
the nape. Many may have yellow splashed on the
forehead and crown. This yellow may or may not stay
throughout the first couple molts. In some cases it
may completely disappear or get larger. The yellow on
the nape may start to appear within the first year and
then will increase in size throughout the life. The Yellow Naped Amazon is in most experts opinion
is the absolute most entertaining of all amazons or in
some cases all birds.
This species never fails in
becoming the center of attention. Yellow napes are one
of the best talking species of all birds. Yes, even
better than African Greys. Well lets just say Yellow
Napes talk more and will talk in front of strangers
where Greys seem to be slightly shy. Of course there
are exceptions to this, as some greys are also good
talkers in front of strangers, but this is not the
norm. This species (Yellow Naped) will learn at
a very young age. We have had many Yellow napes start
vocalizing actual words at 10-15 weeks old. Some even
younger. If you are looking for the perfect talking
species, then
this one is for you. Keeping in mind that most amazons
should not be left unsupervised around very young
children as with most all parrots there is a danger of
nipping. If you are old enough to remember the Carson
Show, many times there was a Yellow Nape brought on
the show, that bird would sing, laugh, cry, sing
opera, etc. That is what Yellow Napes Do. They do not
even need training...Most of the
time when you see a green parrot on TV that has a very
good talking ability its normally the Yellow Naped
Amazon. I personally own a Yellow Nape Amazon named
Loretta, This bird is amazing . She speaks spanish,
english, sings opera, etc. She is the perfect
example of the talented ability of the Yellow Nape
Amazon Parrot. If you want a bird that will become one
of the best talking birds you have ever seen, This
Bird is for you.
