The Amazona Society UK was formed in the early
1990s to provide a pool of knowledge about Amazon
Parrots. It was realised by a number of owners of
these beautiful birds, that there was very little reliable information available, either for the pet bird owner, or serious breeder. Relatively few birds had been bred in captivity and their care, food needs and accommodation requirements, were all a matter of conjecture.
Goodbye to the Yellow-faced Amazon In April 2009 the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithologists Union decided to reclassify Amazona xanthops as a new species in its own right. It is now known as Alipiopsitta xanthops – the Yellow-faced Parrot. It is not now an Amazon Parrot.
