Jayd Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 :ohmy: Another week gone, I know I've learn a lot from all your great posts...Each week I'll post a tid-bit about a different amazon. St. Vincent Amazon parrot. En-danged, In captivity they lay 3 egg's and usually 2 are infertile. They lay them 3 days apart. There from St. Vincent Island. It's a large amazon at around 16 inches, and they weigh between 660-700 grams. There has been only 3 births at the Houston Zoo since 1978. Theirs 2 morphs, green and brown.Around 800 exist in the wild.... <br><br>Post edited by: Jayd, at: 2010/01/09 16:17
BaxtersMom Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 This is a cool topic. I love learning more facts about the different species. Karma for you for starting this. That is a gorgeous Amazon.
kittykittykitty Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 A beautiful bird! Definately endangered. Can't help but think Harley's (my husband) parents had an Amazon while he was growing up.
