Zachary is a 'Double Yellow Head' Amazon parrot that we adopted when he was 10 months old. Through his amazing development and from what we have learnt and experienced with him, we dedicate this website to promoting the much needed understanding and care in raising these complex, intelligent birds.

Please go through our site as you gather your details before adopting one. Our promise to you is that any information we provide on our website is upfront, tested and proved with Zachary and our other parrots. All our photographs are real and unedited; and Zachary's voice is his own. They will show you the truth of what these birds are capable of when all their needs are met. It's not sugar coated, and it's not written to sell an idea, nor to encourage or discourage you to adopt a parrot. These are mainly facts that will help you understand these wonderful birds better.

Owning an Amazon parrot is a lifetime commitment, and a responsibility not to be taken lightly. Zachary's website used to contain a lot of fun pictures of him, great stories, and entertaining pages, which often lead people to yearn for an Amazon companion. But many people are more apt to enjoy and choose to view the good parts of owning a parrot & fail to read up about the reality and other facts - things that are not as easy nor fun, but absolutely necessary when it comes to having a healthy relationship with a pet parrot.

With parrots, you're dealing with a living, intelligent creature that can share your life, feel love, pain, discomfort, and joy, for many, many years. Treat a parrot like you would raising a two year old child. And one that will last a lifetime. That's a commitment you must make before bringing one home. Amazon parrots when healthy and well taken care of, can live up to 80 years of age.
