Fun Amboina King Parrot Information

The first thing you will notice about Amboina King Parrots (also known as Moluccan King Parrots) is their vivid coloration. They have green wings and a bright red body with a blue back. Next, you will notice their confidence shining through their cage. They sit up straight and they are not afraid of obtaining and keeping your eye contact much longer than most other parrots. As you get closer, you might notice the Amboina start to talk with its sweet, gentle voice. At that point, you will probably be sold on this parrot, but then you will look at the price tag.

These birds are quite expensive because they are threatened and the demand for them is very high. So high, in fact, that you may not be able to find them in the pet store. Luckily, they can be bred in captivity, so even if we completely destroy their natural habitat (God forbid) we will still be able to keep the species flying around. If you are the entrepreneurial type, you might want to look into getting a male and female Amboina and start your own Amboina King Parrot business.

This will take a little work and research though. These parrots can be difficult to breed and you have to make sure that you get both a male and female parrot (obviously). What is not so obvious, is the difference between the genders. The only reliable way to tell them apart is with DNA tests, so you will have to have those performed before you commit to a couple.

Experts believe that it takes between 12 and 30 months for the Amboina to become sexually mature. You can tell when they are sexually mature by looking at the area around their eyes; it will change color from whitish grey to black.
