Green is a dominant color in many parrot species around the world, including those frequently kept as pets. If you've spotted a green parrot, you can identify the bird by its size, feather pattern, and more. Some green parrots have additional bright colors mixed into their plumage while others have more subtle markings. These birds are intelligent and full of personality, and they require a committed caregiver. If you're considering adopting a bird, here are eight popular green parrots to choose from.

Amazon parrots are among the largest and most recognizable green parrots. There are several species, including the blue-fronted Amazon, yellow-napped Amazon, and double yellow-headed Amazon. Each type is predominantly green with various markings to set it apart. These are smart, social creatures that require lots of attention from their caretakers as well as ample space to play.

Also known as Mexican green conures or green conures, green parakeets are smart, social parrots that need a lot of attention and are suitable for more experienced bird owners. These energetic birds enjoy interacting with people and can be trained. A large enclosure with a variety of toys will allow them to play and exercise, but they should be given ample time outside of their cage every day as well.
