"Surprisingly, while Amazon parrots have a captive history going back hundreds of years, reports of their successful breeding under captive conditions have been very limited. Fortunately, this situation has changed dramatically during the last fifteen to twenty years. Recent innovations and improvements in avicultural techniques have resulted in significant increases in breeding success with these often trying and difficult avicultural subjects. Each day more is being learned about their requirements in captivity. The accomplishments of John and Pat Stoodley with breeding various neo-tropical psittacines are well known to most aviculturists. By sharing their knowledge and expertise in successfully managing a captive breeding flock of Amazons, they have, undoubtedly, helped to increase the numbers of captive-bred Amazon parrots that will be produced in future years."
