Amazon parrot

From Pets Wiki

Amazon Parrots (Genus Amazona) are a group of large parrots, generally with green bodies. These are the ones Pirates are normally depicted with. They are emotionally similar to a two-year-old human child, and require about as much work. They are not for new bird owners, and need lots of chewy wood toys.
