A large, robust amazon parrot found across a broad range from Mexico and Panama through the Amazon basin to Bolivia and Paraguay, yellow-crowned amazons are predominantly green with a variable yellow crown. They inhabit forest, woodland, and savanna and are adaptable enough to thrive in agricultural areas. Multiple subspecies are recognized with differing degrees of yellow on the head. Highly regarded as pet and aviary birds for their speech ability and social temperament.
