The Yellow-Crowned Amazon is a medium-sized parrot native to the tropical regions of Central America and South America. It is known for its vibrant green plumage, accented by a distinctive yellow crown on its head. These birds typically measure about 12 to 14 inches in length and are social creatures, often found in flocks. In the wild, Yellow-Crowned Amazons primarily feed on fruits, seeds, and nuts. They are intelligent and can mimic sounds, making them popular pets. However, their populations are threatened by habitat loss and the illegal pet trade, leading to conservation efforts to protect their natural habitats.
