CLICK HERE TO SEE ANY MEALY AMAZON BABIES AVAILABLE
Description: Mealy Amazon, becoming very rare in the usa and also in their native habitat.
Note: Mike Richard owner Royal Bird
Company: These are one of the calmest of all amazons we have
ever seen, talking ability is great. "I wished more people
would have the chance to enjoy this species" If anyone ever
wanted an amazon but was afraid of all the natural
characteristics of amazons, this is the Amazon for you.
These are one of the sweetest and largest of all amazon
species averages 15-16 inches, some even larger. This
species is getting rarer every year with fewer and fewer
babies available in the USA. Many bird breeders just simply
do not have the available birds for setting up breeding
pairs. In the years past is was not as rare as it is today,
but breeders (including us as well) simply did not set up
the mealy amazons
for breeding due to the lack of demand years past, due to
colors compared to other amazons. Little did we all know it
would turn out to be one of the best natured bird species of
all.
This species is known for a very calm pleasant
personality compared to other amazons. The handfed baby
Mealy Amazon seems to
be not as aggressive nature as most other amazons,
they are more laid back and take things with stride. Talking
ability is comparable to Yellow Nape Amazons and other well
known talkers. Many people describe the Mealy Amazon as
quite, pleasant, robust and a lively bird with a great
talent for talking and mimic. being not very colorful many
people over look this species for other more colorful
species of amazons, its a shame as these are one of the best
species of amazons we have seen. The calm nature makes it a
great choice.
This species is great for the
beginner or seasoned bird owner. Many people that own them
simply state "Mealy Amazons are the best".
Being mostly green in color with shades
of blue on the crown with some having a yellow colored
splash on the head, has a red to orange color just below the
wing bend. Not as colorful as some other well known amazon
species but i cannot stress enough how calm and great this
bird is.
NOTE: We only breed the nominate species
Amazona farinosa farinosa.
There are several other subspecies. we do not have a program for those.
NOTE: UPDATE...We no longer breed or research the Mealy Amazon species, We have sold all breeder pairs.
