In captivity, the Surinam Amazons multiply easier than the other types of Amazons. The marriage period in North America begins from February or March to June-July. There are 3-4 eggs in one masonry. The size of the nesting box should correspond to the size: 30x30x60 cm. The incubation period lasts 24-26 days. Chicks are shifting at 10-12 weeks of age. During propagation, males become aggressive to females. Cutting feathers to the reproduction period helps females run away from males and hide in shelters.
