The youngsters differ from the adult birds by less pronounced colouration, which starts to resemble that of the parents at the age of one year - the ocre-yellow areas are more highlighted, and they have brighter yellow colour. During the day, they are very active they spend much time by symbolized fights. They feed and clean each


other. Nevertheless, during perching, resting and sleep, they sit at a distance from each other. In their choice of food, they do not differ from the adults. They keep their shy temperament, and only sometimes demonstrate enough trust to accept a piece of their favorite children´s biscuits from hand. The Yellow-fronted parrots are very friendly, beautiful and non - demanding birds in captivity. They pay back our care with their nice temperament and by the joy from their breeding.
