Our beloved Cochan |

Cochon is all green but for red on his head and the tip of his wings. We are no aviary expert but we suspect maybe he's a Red-Crowned Amazon parrot. (Or maybe he's a Red-lored Amazon? Or a Red-Crowned Parakeet?) We have seen plenty of pictures with red-headed parrots but we can't seem to find the one with red on the wing. Maybe it is an AG easier-to-flock-and-paint hybrid.
If it he is a Red-Crowned Amazon, he is very endangered parrot found in Mexico though they can be found in the southern United States in abundant woodlands with a lot of trees. Sadly they are endangered due to habitat destruction and the illegal pet bird trade. So in theory we shouldn't be having him for a pet but he is a special case because he is part of the American Girl flocked plastic bird breeding program in China. So don't support the illegal pet trade. If you want a parrot make sure you get them the right way and do your research.

Cobaltcat is not a parrot expert so this is just for general reference only.
Amber (My AG #26) is wearing the Licorice Play Outfit, Kanani necklace, Singing Star Shoes, and holding Cécile's Parrot which all can be found on American Girl's website or on the secondary market.
