Hey Jay, Thank you, I was referring to: ====================== B. Yellow-naped or auropalliata group: immatures have no yellow on head or neck; crown washed with blue/green. Bill dark grey. Eye brown ====================== As some sites says immature YNA may have that bluish head feather as well. Thanks

Hey Jay, Did you see tha video? Actuallt the beak color is black + grey/bone colored

Hey Jay, Thanks a lot for your input. Regarding shading on the head, I've found some sites that says it's normal for immatures yellow nape to have, Please advise? http://www.parrots.org/index.php/encyclopedia/profile/yellow_crowned_amazon/ ====================== B. Yellow-naped or auropalliata group: immatures have no yellow on head or neck; crown washed with blue/green. Bill dark grey. Eye brown ====================== also: http://books.google.com.eg/books?id=Sklz7tAUa4IC&pg=PA345&lpg=PA345&dq=yellow+nape%2Bwashed&source=bl&ots=hGCP8_JwPh&sig=kz6vMv4zlcdgeBSUH2y-b-zD-eE&hl=ar&sa=X&ei=SXkXUc2WLsSRhQfszoHgDQ&ved=0CEIQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=yellow%20nape%2Bwashed&f=false It doesn't look like an orange-winged amazon to me hmm. But for sure it's not a mealy? How % to be a nape and how % to be an orange winged please? Thanks again

Hey, I hope that all of you are fine and doing well. I'm impressed with the amazons personality and abilities and I consider myself have the enough experience to raise an amazon as I currently have a macaw and an eclectus. Amazons are even more rare than macaws and other type of parrots and it costs a lot in my country for a double yellow headed or a yellow naped amazon they range between $3000 - $4000 (USD) each. Nobody is breeding them in my country so all of the available ones are imported from France and Belgium. The double yellow headed that I saw have a closed ring with a cites with their leg band numbering and id etc, The yellow naped ones don't have a closed ring, Instead they are microshipped and the microship # is there on their cites certs too. I'm sorry for the long introduction I'm just seeking a sincere advice on the following one before getting it, I did my homework, lots of researches and so on. I'm interested of getting the following parrot, I'm just a bit worried as I couldn't identify the type of it whether it's a yellow naped or a mealy amazon? I've googled both, lots of youtibe videos, The eye ring I can't see it on the most yellow naped ones, While it doesn't look similar to mealy, I mean the eye ring. I've took few pictures and a video of the bird and I wanted to get your sincere advices before going ahead and geting that bird, I just don't want a trader/an importer to trick/cheat on me. I really appreciate your help. Thanks all in advance.
