The yellow-naped amazon also known as the yellow-naped parrot is a parrot specie with green forehead, green crown, dark grey beak, dark grey feet and a yellow band across the lower naped. These birds feed on nuts, seeds, fruits, berries and they live in southern Mexico and Costa Rica. They are highly special because of their playful personalities and talking ability. If they get angry or excited, they will signal by spreading their tail. Yellow-naped amazons usually bond with a single member of a household and sometimes get jealous of others. They enjoy to interact with people and the more they interact and socialized with humans, the more comfortable they will be around people.
These parrots love to play and chew objects, so it is advisable to provide them with non-toxic toys to chew. The bird is a potential flyer in the wild but tend to get fat in captivity. The yellw-naped parrot are reported to live for over 90 years. Nutritious food such as fruits, vegetables, a lot of playtime and exercise will keep the bird healthy for a lifetime. A male yellow-naped amazon gets more nippy and aggressive more than the female, the female is sweeter and calmer most of the time, so you might consider a female when purchasing a yellow-naped parrot. If you are looking to adopt or purchase a yellow-naped amazon, you should contact Hansen Parrots for more information.

I’ve been going to Hansen Parrots for almost a year and a half and have been so pleased with their customer service and personal care for my two babies. Hansen is extremely accommodating when it comes to scheduling – I have two small children at home making it very hectic to shuffle the kids and the birds around, but he always manages to work around my schedule. While it’s not a service I use frequently, I was psyched to know that they will pick up or drop the babies off in a pinch – this has been a huge day saver on more than one occasion.

The folks at Hansen Parrots always send my guys home looking handsome & happy. If ever I have asked them to do a little extra or pay special attention to a certain area, they’ve been happy to accommodate.
In short, I’ve been so pleased to have Hansen Parrots taking care of our baby naped amazon and i am so glad to have found them. They’re definitely worth seeking out.

We loved the broad range of product options and the fact that all of them were green friendly. The owner is very nice and approachable which made our visit much more enjoyable. Bought several things for our feathered friend including a harness that was reasonably priced. Will certainly be back again soon!

They were wonderful and squeezed him in last minute, so I really have no complaints. They also carry great products for my little monster. I’ll most definitely use them as my regular pet store in the future. Thanks guys 🙂

I love this little place. They’re super convenient to where I live, and the people who work here are super friendly and helpful!

What sets this place apart from all the other big chains and plenty of the smaller stores is the staff. They all are obvious bird lovers but more than that, they are so knowledgeable. The birds come first. We were privilege to buy a baby yellow naped amazon from them and we want to thank Hansen Parrots for everything they do to solve pet lover’s problems. Thank you!!!

I wholeheartedly choose to spend my money here over other pet and pet supply stores. I wish every pet/pet supply store would make an effort to have such an amazing staff that is so dedicated to educating people on how to best care for their pet. Hansen Parrots is doing a great job.
Nina S –
I take my amazon here quite often for wing and toe nail clips. Robert is very good at bird grooming, and always gets a kick out of the fact that my little bird plays dead during his time under the clippers. Hansen Parrots has a great selection of bird toys, and food so they pretty much get all my bird-related business. Also if you make it all the way to the very back of the store, it’s almost like a free mini-trip to the zoo with parrots galore.
Lia M –
I get all of my birdie food here and all of there birds for sale look so healthy and happy. I recommend this place!!!
Lucas J –
Talk about going the extra mile! After the free vet visit, the vet recommended antibiotics as a precautionary measure. Hansen took Meni for 10 days and gave her the anti-biotics. Then, she even took Meni for the follow-up visit. This is the type of service that you never receive these days. For all your pet needs, look no further than Hansen Parrots.
Rebecca G –
The workers are experts on the pets they sell there and gives very good advice on how to take care of the yellow naped amazon i bought. They have colorful birds and very good prices. Let’s patronize these guys.
Fred K –
Yes I can buy online, but the staff here are so knowledgeable and friendly. I always feel I’m getting the right products for my birds. Their prices are very reasonable.
Kema C –
Good size selection for the space, extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff, decent pricing and good selection of pet supplies.
Delane E –
I’m lucky enough to be living within walking distance to the Hansen Parrots because with Muni prices this high, I’d be wasting every penny of my college fund visiting this animal lovers’ heaven. This little store has been with me throughout half my life, helping me transition from a budgie to lovebird owner. I finally got a bigger bird from here and i love the creature with all my heart. AMAZING!!
Amir L –
I could spend hours observing their large selection of beautiful birds, and ample amounts of time rummaging through toys and food that I could use to spoil my feathered friend. So far, most of my interactions are with Hansen, since he is the bird guy, but everyone else seems just as friendly and approachable. You guys earned my trust!
Joel C –
Such a great small pet shop that provides more than the so called chain store do. I discovered this pet store last year, we got our baby amazon parrot here and he is such a cutie smart buddy. I hope my relationship with this store will last until my bird’s 50th birthday
Benjamin T –
Really friendly and helpful unassuming neighborhood spot. Their selection is surprisingly diverse making really good use of their precious birdies. Prices were fair too which is a plus. The staff is so knowledgeable too. Directed me to exactly what I was pondering about. Thank You!

I called up Hansen Parrots and told the staff I wanted to ask some questions about their amazons before making the drive from Arizona. They answered all my questions and assured me the birds were well taken care of and well-tempered. As soon as I got to the store, I was shown my bird and taken to a little area where I could get to know it better. I had my four year old son with me and the staff was very friendly to him, even showing him how to pet the bird. They gave my son some stickers as well, very nice. The staff gave me good information about Amazons, but also inquired as to why I wanted this particular bird. You can tell that these guys are geniuses when it comes to birds.

Very good experience, knowledgeable, great prices. Very good customer service my girls love the Yellow Napped Amazon. Thank you!!

You can tell that the owners really care about their pets and want to see them placed in good homes. After deciding on my pet (it only took a few minutes, she was so sweet) I was then told about the minimum things I would need. The staff wasn’t pushy about overdoing the accessories and I was shown the mid-priced cages and told that getting the biggest cage possible wasn’t the best for my bird. Again, the staff truly cares about their animals. Within an hour, Kiel (that’s the name I decided on) and I were on our way home. The only negative I can say is that the place was extremely busy when I went, but that can be viewed as a very positive sign about the establishment. I highly recommend this pet store!
Yoel W –
Hansen and Melanie delivered the Yellow Napped Amazon baby and her cage to my house and gave me some natural perches and beautiful toys for my new bird. Hansen Parrots is the best bird shop in VA…clean and well stocked. Looking forward to getting another baby bird from here in the near future.
Yuri –
This is my favourite bird site. Robert was so nice with me, he knows and love birds! They have Harrison’s food, which is hard to find in stores these days and they beat most online prices! They have an awesome selection of colourful Amazon parrots. I recommend this website confidentially!!!
Rachel O –
Melanie was friendly with no “hard sell” tactics and happy to answer any questions while on the move. I was comfortable looking at the bird here, I took my time looking over and browsing all the inventory before making my selection. Great people with big hearts
Ryleigh Z –
We found more than expected with excellent array of beautiful, healthy, hand-fed birds of all sizes, dozens of colorful flight birds, and everything needed to care for your feathered friend(s).
Rowan E –
Owners have been here for years! They know their birds! Steered us in the right direction with a Yellow Napped Amazon Parrot. Wonderful site.
Louis A –
I’ve wanted to get an Amazon Parrot for the last few years. I’ve read that they are a wonderful bird, easy to get along with, beautiful to look at and not very noisy at all. Some can even mimic some words. Well, I’ve looked high and low for a good pet store that carries them and thank God I stumbled upon Hansen Parrots. Look no further because Hansen Parrots is the ideal pet store for you and your love ones!!
Hamilton D –
Pop in here if you want some of the better prices in town for everything including bird food. They have high end brands at comparable prices to the big online retailers. Support local!
Suzi T –
Decent selection of bird food & treats. I prefer another pet store but this is a convenient place to pick up supplies.
Kathleen A –
Five Star all the way, this place is amazing! you will be amazed yourself with the different variety of birds, all types of toys and the most important thing the management is very knowledgeable and will help you find a bird that fits your personality.
Kristen H –
My son wanted a baby Yellow Naped Amazon for his birthday, These people helped my teenage son with picking a bird that’s easy for him to care for, and even when we thought something was wrong with the yellow naped amazon, we contacted them and they gladly directed us to a vet to go for checkup just to make sure the baby was healthy and okay.
Gillian K –
So I must give a comment in defence of this place. It’s fantastic if you have birds! I have 2 Yellow Naped Amazons and this is the only place in town that will clip wings and nails and file beaks (for free even) on Sundays and Mondays 12-4. The guy who does it has been working with birds for over 20 years and is a real pro. I take my birds here once a year for the beak work (believe it or not, parrot beaks can get too long like nails). So thumbs up from me.

They always have great advice and are very willing to help with any questions you might have . They take good care of the birds . I just recently purchased a yellow naped amazon for my daughter . She’s so happy and the bird is so sweet . Thank you Hansen Parrots for everything!
Keira B –

Kendall C –
Best bird place i have come across in a long time. The people are very knowledgeable and friendly. Thinking of buying a bird so I came online to check this site out to get a feel for what it would be like and to get a little more information on birds. I eventually got the Yellow Naped Amazon and it was the greatest choice in a life time!
Cindy Karole –
Thank you for delivering our bird today! It was a fun moment shared. My daughter and I are happy to have this beautiful baby home with us this night and forward!
Edna T –
If you are a bird lover you will not find anything not to love here and you’ll find yourself thinking about when you can return before you even leave. We found the prices far better than chain pet stores prices and even comparable to AMAZON!! Again, if you love birds you will understand the difference between Hansen Parrots birds and those you can expect to find at PetCo. Thank you Hansen’s, see you soon.

After a week of searching on the net we stumble on this website and decided to get a lovely Yellow Napped Amazon Parrot, which was hand fed and trained, It doesn’t bite and is healthy and much more reasonably priced than most other sites . I do want to go back and get a parrotlet. Definitely recommend this place, the birds are well cared for, selections are large and rotating frequently. Worth checking out. Owners are great and after all, it’s always about how well customer service is…
Kingsley S –
We got our baby naped amazon delivered on time. Thank you so much!!!

I love Hansen Parrots. We showed up last Saturday without an appointment and they fit us right in. We were out the door in less than 15 minutes. I highly recommend this store to feathered friend lovers.
Kamila B –
Hansen Parrots is great. They are all extremely nice and clearly love their work. When I call they remember me and all the employees treat the birds as if they were their own. They listen to your wishes and do a great job following directions. So happy we live near Hansen Parrots!!!
Vano W –
This store is wonderful! We were amazed!! They lady we spoke with was very nice and the shop is also nice. Very welcoming! We will defiantly be regulars here. THANK YOU!!!!
Adani C –
I went in to pick up a gift for my friend. I picked up a rope toy and some training treats that the friendly girl at the counter recommended. When I mentioned that my friend had rescued breeding ground, she gave me a bunch of free treat sample packs, asked me what the species was, and had a lot of great advice on breeding and welcoming home new birds. I was impressed with not only her knowledge of the store, but her knowledge of birds/parrots species and birds in general!
Hilda N –
I love, love, love this charming, cute, pet boutique. The employees are so caring and very attentive to my feathered friend. The store is adorable, very clean – and the staff is always going above and beyond my expectations. I will continue to go back.
