We have 8 parrots that are very social and well kept. They are well-adjusted birds that interact with guest, employees and other birds all day long. Parrots are very intelligent. At our Avery area we have Red lored parrots, White crowned and White front parrots.

Red-lored Parrots are gregarious, meaning that they live in flocks. These birds are often noisy, unless resting or eating. Their call is screechy and loud. These highly intelligent parrots will use their beaks to test new surfaces, climb, and husk seeds. The Red Lored is one of the most colorful of all Amazons. The forehead is bright red, the crown pale lilac and cheeks bright yellow. Young Red Loreds show less color than adults as the color increases with age.

   

Red loreds make sweet, loving companions. They are often likely to become entirely devoted to one member of the family, whom they will jealously guard from all other family members. They have an Amazon s average talking ability of about 12 words, but often begin learning to speak earlier than most.

The White Front is the smallest of the available parrot species and is sometimes confused with the White Capped Pionus. The White Front is the most affordable parrot, being less expensive as well as having more modest caging requirements than other parrots. The White Front has a white forehead with blue crown and red around the eyes. The beak is yellow. A male has red on his wing feathers and the females are green in the same specific area, making them easily distinguished.

The White Front can talk, but is not a gifted talker, usually learning just a few words. This is a more quiet parrot which fits well into apartment living.

The White-crowned Pionus, also know as the White-capped Pionus or White-capped Parrot, is a popular pet and relatively common in captivity. They are a pleasure to the resort. Once they are well-known they become a very passive parrot that is calm and cushy. They are very sweet and affectionate. These intelligent and curious little birds do have a somewhat stronger personality than most other Pionus species, but with good attention they can make fabulous family pets! They are quick to learn and can be taught a variety of tricks
