Feeding & Care
Do not feed
birds fruit seeds, avocados, chocolate, onions, apple seeds, uncooked beans, uncooked rice, alcohol or caffeine as these can cause
serious medical problems, and kill them
A Lilac's diet should consist of 70% pellets, and 30% fresh fruit & veggies. Nuts, and seeds should be given
as treats only as Amazons are prone to be over weight, and become picky eaters.
They need a lot of social interaction both direct with members of your household, and indirect out of
cage time where they can see and be part of your "flock" .
They love to chew which is why they need a variety of toys to keep them
mentally stimulated, and from getting bored which can lead to self
mutilation.
They need a variety of different sized perches to help exercise, and stretch their feet.

highlighting colors. What makes this Amazon unique is that the yellow"crown" on it's head, and parts of it's face are purple. They also have red, and violet on
their wing feathers.
Description
Lilac Crowned Amazons are sweet, affectionate, loving, and very social parrots. As with all parrots they must be socialized to
keep this personality they're so well known for.
They live 40 to 60 years, and some even older due to modern healthier diets, exercise, and mental stimulation.
All Amazon parrots need a lot of interaction, and socialization. As an owner you must know how to handle a medium to large sized parrot, and how to train one
before you purchase one. A lot of thought, and consideration should go into the idea of getting one for a companion bird
