Savannah the Yellow-Headed Amazon

The yellow-headed amazon, also known as the yellow-headed parrot and double yellow-headed amazon, is an endangered Amazon parrot of Mexico and northern Central America. This remarkable parrot faces the looming threat of extinction, driven by the persistent popularity of keeping them as pets, which fuels alarming poaching efforts. The name "Savannah" for this tail is an homage to one of the diverse environments where these majestic birds can be found. Inhabiting lush forests and savannahs along the forest edge and wooded areas, the yellow-headed amazons extend their range from Mexico through Central America into northwestern South America. Join us in spreading awareness and supporting conservation efforts to ensure a thriving future for these magnificent parrots.
