Trainability
These birds are
very good at talking. They are a very popular companion parrot to own. Training
sessions are best done away from the bird's cage to avoid territorial problems,
which can arise. Another room is best. Sessions should be kept relatively short
in duration based on the bird's actual attention span (typically 5-10 minutes).
The Up, Down and No commands should be taught and reinforced continuously.
Reward positive behavior and never reward or reinforce negative behavior or the
parrot will receive mixed messages which it will undoubtedly use to surprise you
at the wrong time. Consistency and discipline on the part of the trainer is an
absolutely must. Amazons can be very strong willed and if the trainer is
inconsistent with the bird, it will soon learn that it can rule the roost
