Question
hi im buying 2 orange winged amazons the male is 9 and female is three. i want to know will they ever breed and how long will they breed for as the male is 9! will they ever learn to talk if they had kids? thanks  

Answer
Hi, Fasial.  Thanks for posting.

I don't know if they will ever breed.  Depends on if they are compatible and pair-bond...parrots have to pair-bond before they will mate and produce offspring.  Just because you put these 2 parrots together, doesn't mean they will be compatible.

An amazon at 9 years of age is still young, considering they can live to be 30-40 years old.  There's no reason why a 9-year old OWA can't produce offspring, provided he is healthy and is still fertile.

An OWA's ability to talk has nothing to do with their offspring.  I'm not sure I understand this question.
