JillyBeanz Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I was chatting about Amazons with my husband yesterday and he reminded me that when we were on holiday in 2004 we had see some "Amazons" in the wild. There were two who regularly flew into the hotel to feed - and they sat around the trees for most of the day - the staff fed them veggies and fruit each day. It's taken me a while to find out what type they were - but by denomination I've found out they are Yellow Shouldered Amazons. I must add - they sat in the trees, whilst the biggest iguanas I have seen in my life roamed around the pool area! I'm going to try and dig some photos out - they must be archived on CD somewhere!

I've found the pictures of the macaws (they came regularly too) and the iguanas - but can't find the photos of the Amazons Yes! That's one of them Jay! They were beautiful!!

JillyBeanz Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ah, thanks Jay - I've seen them - I promise! Anyway Jay - that picture you've posted is about the same standard as my holiday snaps - so, you've done me a favour really :laugh: :laugh: They all used to fly in each and every day - it was glorious to see. The macaws and the zons often sharing the same area to eat - and these were wild birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll upload them tonight - they are quite grainy and not of very good quality - I think I must have taken them on "zoom" from the hotel room balcony judging that I seem to be above the trees!
