Yellow Shoulder Amazons For Sale
Yellow Shoulder Amazon parrots are a great species. Yellow Shoulder Amazons are a smaller species of Amazon with a fantastic personality. Yellow Shoulders can vary slightly in coloration, but like a typical Amazon, they are a gorgeous iridescent green with yellow and blue splashes. They make great family companions and can be outstanding little talkers. All our birds are very well socialized and used to the everyday household activity.
Yellow-shouldered Amazons as Pets:
Yellow-Shouldered Amazons are rare Amazons with engaging personalities. They are inquisitive and curious to the point of being “nosy” and their gentle nature only adds to their charm.
Always playful, Yellow Shoulders are active Amazons that require a cage stocked with toys. They can be quite the acrobats so swings and hanging toys are also a must.
Breeding
The Yellow-shouldered Amazon Parrots nest in tree cavities. The average clutch size consists of 3 to 4 eggs, which are incubated for 26 – 28 days.
Similar Species ID:
Within its range, the yellow shoulder patch and extensive yellow on the head distinguish the Yellow-shouldered Amazon from other Amazon Parrot species, which have red or orange on the shoulder and less yellow on the head (the Orange-winged Amazon, which has as much yellow to the head as some Yellow-shouldered Amazons, has a blue eye region).
However, outside its range, several other Amazon Parrot species have as much or even more yellow on their heads.
The Yellow-shouldered Amazon averages 31 – 33 cm (~12.4 inches) in length (from head to tip of the tail).

Having always adopted parrot from local breeders, I was a bit weary about purchasing a parrot this way but I knew I wanted a parrot and fell in love with “Rio” on Universe Pets Breeders you guys are amazing to work with and made the process so easy, your customer service was so responsive and helped with all my questions and concerns. Rio made his way to California via plane and has been the best parrot since he arrived. He’s the sweetest most socialized parrot I’ve ever had and I’m in awe at how well behaved and intelligent (just three weeks here in his new home). Thank you so much
