They live in pairs that maintain lifelong bonds and join larger flocks at communal roost sites. One of the more common amazon species in aviculture globally, they are valued for their speech, intelligence, and affectionate temperament.

Highly regarded as pet and aviary birds for their speech ability and social temperament.
