Orange Winged Amazons Parrots

The orange-winged Amazon parrot can be find in the wild in South America, specifically in Bolivia, Suriname, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, French Guiana, Venezuela, Guyana, Brazil, Panama, and Paraguay. They travel in groups, along with other Amazon species. Like other parrots in their region, this bird is trap for both the pet trade and as food.

In the wild, many Amazons form social groups that aren’t really “flocks” in the way that we perceive them, with a leader and subservient members, but more like a “commune” living in the same area, helping the others to find food, beware of danger, and offering a variety of members to choose from for mating and nesting. Because this social behavior is ingrain in Amazons, and most parrots are just a few generations away from their wild cousins, the orange-wing Amazon will thrive only in a social environment where it is allow to interact with its family members, whether they be other, similar birds, or humans.
