Frequently Asked Questions...
My crooked neck squash is turning bright yellow like it is ripe at about one inch and then wilting. help?
Answer:
It can be several things:
1) you are not watering it enough (self explanatory)
2) infection of the plant A plant will opt to kill off infected fruit as opposed to allow it to carry on the trait or kill the plant
3) you are fertilizing when you should not be fertilizing or have used too much fertilizer. A plant will will off flowers and fruit and opt to use the new nutrients to make a bigger or better seed holder. It is in the plants interest to focus all its attention on the best and kill off the worst.
Plants especially when it comes to squash will opt to kill off the weaker of the seed carriers. You need to when the squash plants starts having its first squash the first weeks to trim off the weakest ones, in that way it promotes other stronger seed carriers to form.

Basics on Yellow Headed Amazon Parrots
There are 3 types of parrots in the Amazon family. The most popular of the three types is the Yellow Headed Amazon. Yellow napes, blue fronts and double yellow heads are distinguished by their bright yellow colors and is also in the Amazon family. These birds have an uncanny ability to speak including inflections and undertones. Dancing to music is one of the things that can be taught to the Yellow Headed Amazons because of their love of music.
Fossils of parrots have dated back 23 million years in Australia and Melanesia. Christopher Columbus actually named the Yellow Heads during his travels to the New World and he brought them back to England. Currently, Yellow parrots are from Mexico, Honduras, Belize and Guatemala.
Yellow Amazons can live up to 80 years and will grow to approximately 15 inches. The females are slightly smaller than the males. Parrots require a healthy diet in order to live this long though. Without it, health problems can develop as soon as 15 years and could possibly die. Yellow Heads can climb easily as they have 4 toes, 2 pointing in opposite directions and also enables them to crack nuts and hold things.
Yellow head amazons learn most of their vocabulary by 2 years old and will begin to talk as early as 3 months. With this uncanny ability to speak so soon they can also form phrases and add connotations to their sentences. It is also not uncommon for them to yell expletives at others since they pick up words they hear from their surroundings. The more words they can speak by 2 years old, the better at socialization they will be.
Yellow heads are very energetic and can fly and climb for several hours while singing and talking. They also like to fly around the room and can make a mess as they like to clown around and will pick things up just to watch them drop to the floor. They will then need at least 10 hours of sleep at night because of the spent energy.
A square or rectangular cage that is a minimum of 21x21x27 to allow for the spread of their wings as they fly is required for these small birds. Add tree limb, playground area or something similar for climbing.
