Frequently Asked Questions

What should I check before buying an Amazon Parrot in Glasgow?

Check the exact species, age, closed ring or microchip ID, CITES or Article 10 paperwork where required, DNA sexing, hatch record, feather condition, diet, cage setup, noise level, biting, hormonal behaviour, talking habits, avian vet history, price and collection plan.

An Amazon Parrot is an intelligent, vocal pet bird, so buying should be based on paperwork, behaviour and care needs, not only talking ability or colour.

Are Amazon Parrots good pets?

Amazon Parrots can be excellent pets for experienced, patient homes that can manage noise, handling, diet, enrichment and long-term care.

They are usually a poor match for someone who wants a quiet, easy bird that talks on demand and spends most of the day ignored in a cage.

Do Amazon Parrots talk?

Many Amazon Parrots can mimic speech, songs and household sounds, but talking should not be the main reason to buy one.

Ask what the bird actually says, when it vocalises, whether it screams and whether talking changes around strangers or after routine changes.

Are Amazon Parrots noisy?

Yes, Amazon Parrots can be loud, especially morning, evening, during excitement, boredom, hormonal periods or when calling for people.

Ask for normal videos from different times of day before buying. A quiet sales clip does not prove the bird is suitable for a flat or shared building.

Can an Amazon Parrot live in a flat?

An Amazon Parrot may live in a flat only if noise, landlord permission, safe out-of-cage time and neighbour tolerance are realistic.

Ask whether the bird has lived in a flat before, whether it screams when left and whether the current noise level would be accepted in your building.

Do Amazon Parrots bite?

Amazon Parrots can bite when frightened, hormonal, cage-defensive, overstimulated, jealous or poorly handled.

Ask when biting happens, whether it breaks skin, whether the bird gives warning signs and whether certain people or situations trigger it.

What does hand tame mean in an Amazon Parrot advert?

Hand tame should mean the bird can be handled calmly and safely, not just that it once stepped up for the seller.

Ask whether the Amazon steps up for different people, accepts handling outside the cage, bites strangers, guards the cage or becomes hormonal around hands.

Are Amazon Parrots suitable for beginners?

Amazon Parrots are usually not ideal beginner birds because they can be loud, strong-willed, hormonal and long-lived.

A beginner should be especially cautious with an Amazon that bites, screams, plucks, has unclear paperwork or has been kept on a poor diet.

Do Amazon Parrots need CITES paperwork?

Some Amazon Parrot species may need CITES or Article 10 paperwork for commercial sale, while requirements can vary by species and legal status.

Ask for exact species confirmation, matching ring or microchip ID and any certificate required for the bird being sold before paying.

What is an Article 10 certificate for an Amazon Parrot?

An Article 10 certificate is commercial-use paperwork that may be needed for certain protected birds when they are sold or used commercially.

Ask whether the Amazon species requires it, whether the certificate matches the bird and whether the ring or microchip details line up with the document.

Should an Amazon Parrot be closed rung or microchipped?

An Amazon Parrot should have clear identification such as a closed ring or microchip, especially when paperwork is involved.

Ask for the ring or microchip details and check that they match any certificate, hatch record or seller paperwork.

Should I buy a DNA sexed Amazon Parrot?

DNA sexing is useful because many Amazon Parrots cannot be reliably sexed by appearance.

Ask for written DNA results and make sure the result belongs to the bird being sold, using ring or microchip details where available.

Should an Amazon Parrot be avian vet checked before sale?

An avian vet check is strongly useful before buying an Amazon Parrot because birds can hide illness.

Ask about weight, droppings, breathing, feather condition, beak, feet, blood tests, disease screening if done and any medication or previous illness.

What should an Amazon Parrot eat?

An Amazon Parrot should have a varied diet, usually based around quality pellets, vegetables, safe fruit in moderation and controlled seed or nut treats.

Ask what the bird currently eats and whether it accepts fresh foods. Sudden diet changes should be avoided after purchase.

Is a seed-only diet bad for Amazon Parrots?

A seed-only diet can be poor for parrots and may contribute to weight and nutrition problems.

Ask whether the bird eats pellets, vegetables and other safe foods, or whether it refuses everything except seed-heavy mixes.

What cage does an Amazon Parrot need?

An Amazon Parrot needs a spacious, secure cage with safe bar spacing, good perches, bowls, toys, foraging options and room to move comfortably.

Ask about cage size, perch types, toy rotation, cleaning routine and how much out-of-cage time the bird gets every day.

Do Amazon Parrots need time out of the cage?

Yes, Amazon Parrots need safe daily time out of the cage for movement, climbing, play, training and social contact.

Before buying, ask how often the bird comes out and whether it returns to the cage calmly. A bird kept inside all day may become frustrated and loud.

Why do Amazon Parrots become hormonal?

Amazon Parrots can become hormonal during certain periods, especially mature birds with strong attachments, nest-like spaces or over-stimulating handling.

Ask whether the bird becomes territorial, bitey, louder, possessive or aggressive at certain times of year.

Can Amazon Parrots become one-person birds?

Yes, some Amazon Parrots prefer one person and may threaten or bite others.

Ask who handles the bird now, whether it accepts different people, whether it guards a favourite person and whether jealousy has been a problem in the current home.

Why do Amazon Parrots pluck feathers?

Feather plucking can be linked to stress, boredom, illness, poor diet, skin irritation, hormones, poor sleep or previous neglect.

Ask when it started, whether an avian vet checked the bird and whether changes in routine, diet or enrichment improved the feather condition.

Can Amazon Parrots live with children?

An Amazon Parrot can live in a family home only when children are calm, supervised and taught not to grab, poke, chase or frighten the bird.

Ask whether the bird has lived with children, whether it bites, whether it startles at noise and whether it becomes overstimulated in busy rooms.

Can Amazon Parrots live with cats?

Amazon Parrots can live in homes with cats only when safety is managed strictly.

Ask whether the bird has lived near cats before, whether the cat can be kept out during flight time and whether the cage is secure from paws and stalking.

Can Amazon Parrots live with dogs?

Amazon Parrots can live near dogs only with strict supervision and separate safe spaces.

Ask whether the bird panics at barking, whether the dog fixates on the cage and whether the bird can have out-of-cage time in a dog-free room.

Can Amazon Parrots live with other birds?

Some Amazon Parrots live near other birds, while others become jealous, territorial or aggressive.

Ask whether the bird has lived with other parrots, whether fights happened, whether separate cages are used and whether supervised introductions are possible.

Do I need to register an Amazon Parrot in Scotland?

If the Amazon Parrot is fully housed indoors with no outdoor access, it may fall under the indoor psittaciform exemption.

If the bird is taken outdoors, trained outdoors, exercised outdoors or kept with outdoor access, check the current Scottish kept bird registration rules before buying.

Should I pay a deposit for an Amazon Parrot?

Only consider a deposit after you have enough proof that the bird, seller, paperwork and viewing process are genuine.

Deposit terms should be written clearly. Avoid pressure, emotional urgency and sellers who ask for money before basic evidence is provided.

How do I avoid Amazon Parrot scams?

Watch for stolen photos, fake talking videos, delivery-only offers, urgent deposits, missing paperwork, vague species names and sellers who refuse proper viewing.

Ask for current videos, ring or microchip details, paperwork proof, cage photos, diet notes, behaviour history and a safe collection plan before paying.

What should I prepare before bringing an Amazon Parrot home?

Prepare a suitable cage, safe perches, foraging toys, familiar food, bowls, a secure travel carrier, cleaning supplies, a safe out-of-cage room and contact details for an avian vet.

Keep the first week calm. Let the Amazon Parrot observe, eat, sleep and settle before expecting talking, tricks, handling or instant bonding.
