Amazon Parrot - Young Mealy Amazon Parrot Male. This particular species is known for its raucus cry, which makes it not very suitable as a pet. This bird will stand making an awful din for hours just for fun. Be warned. A Mealy Amazon is not for the faint hearted. Buit otherwise makes a wonderful personal pet. It may not be very nice to visitors, as it can get to be very jealous and possessive of the owner.
