Origin: Yellow-Napes are endangered in their natural habitat which is found along the Pacific Slope of Central America, Southern Mexico, and Northwestern Costa Rica.

Trainability: Yellow-napes love to chew so it is important to make sure that they have ample chew toys that include combinations of wood, leather, and cloth. Like all Amazons, the Yellow-Nape is a very dominant bird and will try to over-power if given the chance. It is important to spend quality time with your bird, providing redirection when needed. If you let your bird know that you are the boss, training will be an enjoyable experience for you and your bird.

Loudness: Yellow-napes are known for their intelligence impressive talking and singing abilities. They have a great sense of pitch and have an amazingly human like voice. This bird can be a very rowdy bird and when entertaining you they can be loud. Distracting your bird during their more boisterous times will help to curtail their call.
