Blue-fronted amazon also known as turquoise-fronted amazon is a South American species of amazon parrot. They are one of the most common amazon parrots in captivity because they simply the best companion parrots. The blue-fronted amazon parrot is mostly green and about 38cm in length. These birds have blue feathers on their forehead and yellow feathers on their face and crown. The young ones have dark irises and are very active, sociable and love to play in large areas, especially outside the aviary or cages. The distribution of blue and yellow colours varies with individuals.
As a pet bird, the blue-fronted amazon parrot may bond with one person exclusively if it has been hand-raised and hand-fed by the person, and when you properly take care of the bird and give it a balanced and nutritional diet that includes fruits, vegetables, grains and protein, it will live for about 50-60 years. These bright feathered friends are one of the best species in the amazon clan. You can find a reasonable population of these parrots in eastern and northern Bolivia, eastern Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina. You can find them in extensive humid forests such as the amazon, savanna and palm groves. Blue-fronted amazons nests in tree cavities. If you are searching for a blue-fronted amazon parrot, Hansen parrot is here to provide you with the best parrot species in the world.

Hansen Parrots is a wonderful small shop that provides marvellous pet services to families. The best aspect of the service is the communication. Each time we call the shop to book an appointment for our lovely baby amazon, they always surprise us with their top customer care services. We love the way they treat people here. Thank you Hansen Parrots.

Our 7 months old blue fronted amazon loved it and we loved his look. Will be coming back again soon. I wish we could enjoy the friend referral discount every time. Great place!!!

I’ve recently started getting my parrot food here as they carry specialty human grade pet foods are harder to find. Although, they have a smaller selection, they stick to human grade brands, offer free samples and are very friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable for the quality of products being sold. Parking isn’t the easiest so try to avoid weekends or come early in the morning. Otherwise, you can take your chances parking at the McDonalds lot about a block away.

I recently took my baby amazon here for the first time and I was happy with the results, I would bring him there again! There was a minor miscommunication when I went in for my appointment to find out that I wasn’t in the books. However, the front desk was very apologetic and was able to squeeze me in the next day and offered me a discount. Thank you!

One of the best parrot shops in town. Your bird will be treated well and never left alone for hours in a cage. Thank you Hansen Parrots!!

I love to see how much people who work here love pets and how awesome they are. Starting from the lady at the front desk, and all the people taking care of the birds here are absolutely adorable. Something to remember CASH only. I would like to recommend to get a square and start accepting credit. Overall, they are nice people and well educated in their field. Great Job!!!

Thanks for everything, will definitely be coming back in 3 months. Don’t forget to get your friend a little organic treat or toy on the way out!

I wanted to give a huge shout out to Hansen Parrots for their outstanding service and expertise knowledge on birds care. I was especially impressed with Melanie, I bought my blue fronted amazon parrot from her a couple months ago and I’ve followed her direction on proper care ever since. This place is amazing!
Simon C –
I just came in to browse. I love going to pet food/supply stores because I like to see what fun things they may have for my silly little feathered friend. (My bird is too spoiled!) They have a good assortment of treats and toys for your feathered companions. Love.

My pet bird is healthier and more beautiful than ever. Recently my blue fronted amazon was refusing to eat so I expressed my concern to Hansen, after I answered a few questions and had a brief discussion we settled on what the possible reasons for his lack of appetite could be. He explained with scholarly details. Anyone looking for top of the line parrot products and services should visit Hansen Parrots. I know I won’t be taking my business any where else.

Personally i like this place even more because i get special treatment, having been seeking them out ever since my first snake, i get to peek at all the hatching babies, my name is shouted when i walk through the door.
Vera L –
A great pet store. I come here for bird supplies and they are heavy on the bird stuff! They carry quality and safe products. Their seed is live – no dead seed that is so empty and unhealthy for birds. And they really care for their animals! Can do nail trimming on Sundays. Small, neighborhoody and welcoming.
Mondi W –
This is a great pet shop. The staff really knows their stuff and are very helpful with any questions you may have. They were very helpful with picking out the right type of bird for my son to have as a pet. I will shop here any day over Petco or the other big chain franchises where it’s a rare thing to find an employee who actually knows what they’re talking about. Plus, it’s great to support a local pet store over a big corporate franchise.

If you are looking for the “Nordstrom” of pet stores you need to experience the amazing customer service at Hansen Parrots. My personal experience with the entire staff is extremely positive. I was interested in finding the right type of pet bird for my life style. I got a Blue Fronted Amazon Parrot and i can’t be more happier than this. It was magnificent and i really appreciate the owner’s effort.
Adeline S –
This is a great place to buy your pet birds and get questions answered. The people who run it are very knowledgable and helpful, down to earth and clearly love animals. They are an independent business that we all should patronize.
Sonia M –
Owner ignores customers while he chats with friends. Charges for sample treats.
Martinez D –
The bird Manager, Melanie went over and beyond the call of duty. Melanie took time in educating me about certain type of birds. She listened to my needs and made the perfect recommendation for me. I recently became the proud owner of a baby blue fronted amazon parrot. Melanie loves and knows her birds. The staff at Hansen Parrots is trustworthy and knowledgeable. You won’t regret buying your pet birds here.
Kasper B –
I got me my princely 2-3 year old blue fronted amazon here in the summer. I definitely appreciate the fact that this place ensures that all their birds are healthy, happy, and are of good and ethical breeding. I highly recommend this pet store!
Benice F –
The level of care and attention the birds get at Hansen Parrots is amazing! Their birds, for the most part, are loving and happy! While we’re not at that stage in our life to get a bird yet, we continue to adore this shop and consider it a gem of Noe valley. My boyfriend and I are so grateful for all they have done for us, from education to parrot bonding! Buying a parrot is a huge commitment. Because many of them live longer than you will! That said, we still want one in our home… One day. When we are ready…we wouldn’t think of any other place to pick up our Blue Fronted Amazon than Hansen Parrots.

My 4 year old feathered friend is from Hansen Parrots. He comes back here for a manicure every 8-10 weeks and to check out the competition in the back room. I’ve been tempted to, but haven’t yet taken home any of his homies. A friend of mine has two Blue Fronted Amazon purchased from this store. They are the cutest, one of them spends hours hanging upside from it’s perch, like a vampire bat.
Miller A –
I never had a bad experience with the staff, and always enjoy saying what up to the birds in the store, especially their bigger parrots like African greys and Macaws. Thank you very much for our new family companion.
Amina W –
I simply love love this pet store! really nice and helpful staff that doesn’t try to high pressure you into buying anything. We have bought a blue fronted amazon, 2 bird cages, food, toys, treats, and tons of various stuff at this store. They carry a great selection of pet related items and are a bit cheaper than pets stores… I will state that Hansen Parrots is not the cheapest in this city, but hey if ya want cheapo stuff then try Petco or one of the other chains, but realize you get what ya pay for. I highly recommend Hansen Parrots.
Kaiwan A –
Hansen Parrots is the best pet store i have ever come across! Smiley faces, intelligent employees, amazing staff, great owner (Hansen), and the best of all… healthy feathered friends. Also, the owner always cuts us deals on the items we buy without us asking. They really know how to treat the customer at this store, which is why we’ve become loyal. If you are into birds, be sure to check out their awesome selection in the back. they also can do bird sexing for cheaper than a vet.
Conrad J –
So we’re a bit obsessed with African Greys and Amazons. We love stopping in and bonding with their birds! The staff has begun to really get to know my boyfriend and I as we drop in whenever we can.
Being a former retail employee, I always am weary being that customer that comes in and doesn’t spend any money, wasting their time. However, the staff has never made us feel that way. They’re always so friendly and want to give us as much education about the birds as possible. We appreciate these guys so very much!
Maeva L –
They really make sure that the birds go to good homes. Everyone that comes in that shop, will bring their birds that they originally bought from Hansen Parrots. They all look healthy and happy! We have visited many other pet shops, and if you’re lucky to handle the bird at the other locations, they’re usually too skiddish and not very friendly. We recommend this pet store to you all…
Iva S –
Great personal service. The owner care very much about individual people and their animal companions.
Warren L –
We have a Blue Fronted Amazon we got from here. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable and treats people with great respect. Our visit here has been a routine for the last 2+ years, and hopefully for many years to come. Thanks!
Jenner G –
Great place! They have a large variety of birds, bird food and all kind of toys for birds. They even have large birds and the kinds that can speak! Check out their pictures and you will see. Friendly staff and you can ask them any questions you might have.
Joanne Z –
My fiancé and I wanted to buy a bird for our new home… All I have to say is WOW!!!! The staff was beyond amazing! We got him at a very affordable price, So thank you for not being pushy!!! And thank you for all the helpful tips!!!! You have gained our business!!!
Connor F –
I love Hansen Parrots. They are always friendly and helpful, and they have given me consistently useful advice. They inspire complete confidence. We bought our blue fronted amazon parrot from here 4 months ago. It’s a great place to purchase a feathered friend. Amazing place!
Jean W –
We buy food for our feathered friends at Hansen Parrots for 1 year. Rally nice store and amazing work. Thank you!
Harrison G –
We purchased a Blue Fronted Amazon from this pet site. The owner was so kind and patient with our many questions. We are on day four with our new friend and he is just the sweetest thing, tame and calm. Will update post if necessary, but so far, we are extremely happy with everything!
Bernard N –
Amazing customer service and really good prices. Robert was very helpful/knowledgeable! This place’s pricing is unreal. If you want to purchase any kind of bird what so ever, you totally need to visit this website and check out their incredible birdies. We simply left so happy because we’ve been to other bird sites and were so disappointed. This place left us with a wonderful taste in our mouth. Thank you
Hudson D –
We bought my daughter the cutest baby blue fronted amazon. Great service! They shipped the baby very fast. You guys will love this, they put a package together booklet, cage, food. Awesome deal!!
Carter W –
We bought a baby Blue Fronted Amazon from here and my son is so excited. The breeder has so much great knowledge about the birds too. I was so impressed with Hansen and his operation. I just had to write a review. We are extremely happy!
Charles J –
This site is amazing! I got my baby Blue Fronted Amazon here. The breeder is very chill and professional and has the knowledge when it comes to pet care and custom. If you are going to get a bird, no doubt hands down this is where you should come as Hansen breeds them there and hand feeds them for the first 3 months of their lives so you know you are getting a hand-fed and friendly bird.
Amelia B –
I cherish this place. The owner is so helpful and knowledgeable. This is the place to go! I am lucky that this is around my area and every time i call to ask a stupid question, i leave with an answer and the feeling that no question is a stupid question! I leave feeling like a valued customer. I recommend this place to everyone looking to re-home a birdie friend.
Lilian B –
This place is great. I love supporting a local business that uses environmentally sound and animal-safe products. I have also had nothing but pleasant encounters with all the employees and owner. It is on the pricier side, but they are usually very flexible with scheduling and are quick with my little buddy. The little guy always looks so handsome when he leaves!
Jimmy A –
After calling several bird shops and unsuccessfully securing an appointment, I gave Hansen Parrots a call, and to my good fortune they were able to get me a same day appointment. The store is super clean, the staff is beyond nice, and the overall experience was pleasant. I’ll most definitely go back, my little babies looks adorable and they looked like there were having fun in the play area when I went to pick them up.
Joseph N –
The new lady at the front desk, Melanie is amazing! She is gentle and very talented. I had a problem finding the right food for my bird she was able to help her with the best she’s ever had so far. We will most definitely be returning!
Sebastiene L –
This place is simply the best! Thank you!!!
Amy B –
So, five stars for being open on Sundays, being polite and knowledgeable, doing a complete job on my baby parrot, and making my Luna look like a cute little birdie again. We will definitely be visiting again when the time comes. 🙂
Vita H –
I brought my parrot here for a treat. I was 20 mins late (GPS issues) and they graciously accepted my baby’s reservation. Everyone at Hansen Parrots is incredibly kind and they did a great job with kiki’s nails. She looks adorable! Not only was the cut great but the store is fantastic also. I got Kiki some toys. The prices are good. I will definitely return and recommend to all of my friends.
