The Mealy Amazon may not seem different than other Amazons in terms of appearance, but this bird has a different personality than many others in this classification. The Mealy Amazon is known for having a gentle, calm personality. It can be incredibly affectionate, and most Mealy Amazon owners find their pets to be regular parts of the family. There is no stronger bond than that of a Mealy Amazon bird and his owner. Nevertheless, there are times when this bird can get aggressive due to sexual maturing. That is why these kind and overall pleasant birds are best suited for experienced owners.

For the most part, a Mealy Amazon will be green in color all around. Many of them have green and yellow on the forehead, but that coloring is slight. The Mealy Amazons that develop those colors usually do not see changes in their feathers until they reach adulthood. These birds feed on fruits, vegetables, nuts, and pellets in a domestic setting, but they can get overweight if they are not allowed to exercise. Pet owners should be prepared for these birds to go out of their cages at least three or four hours a day to prevent health problems in the future.

Like many other Amazons, the Mealy Amazon can live to be well over 60 years old with proper care. They are a long term commitment and should be seen as such. These birds love social interaction, and they can actually go into depression if they are neglected. Many Mealy Amazon owners must leave their TVs on during the day to simulate activity until they get home to play with their feathered friends. These parrots may not be the biggest showman out there, but they can put on a show in the right settings. Overall, they are incredibly loving and pleasant to be around.

In the wild, the Mealy Amazon can be seen in Central America, South America, and some parts of Mexico. They are rather large by Amazon standards, reaching 16 inches by the time they reach full adulthood. These birds may also be called Mealy Parrots or Blue Crowned Mealy Parrots. No matter what you call them though, there is no denying the sweet personality and overall lovability of these birds. They make perfect pets on every level, and they are great companions for humans and other parrots alike. They deserve to be treated with as much affection as they give off.
