Originally from the coastal areas of Mexico the Yellow headed Amazon parrots are becoming popular pets partly because of their beautiful markings. These birds are predominantly green with an attractive yellow head and also a red patch on every wing. They can even be located south of Mexico in Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras.
