Description

During the non-breeding season our Double-headed Amazons are housed in a colony environment where they enjoy a variety of enrichment—including swinging perches and natural branches—and some specialization, prior to being paired up and moved to an individual aviary during the breeding season. Having seen these beautiful birds in a small number of private collections we decided to add six young unrelated birds to our aviaries recently. These six birds—three hens and three cocks—were placed in a large 10 meters long x 3.6 meters wide x 2.4 meters high conventional aviary. Also sharing the aviary were six Blue-fronted Amazons—two cocks and four hens. Initially we also had Yellow-crowned Amazons sharing the aviary, however the Yellow-crowned and Double Yellow-headed Amazons would fight continuously. As such, the Yellow-crowned Amazons were removed and placed in another large aviary.
