Hello Amazonians!

Could anyone here please inform me how (if possible) to tell the difference between a Yellow Nape, and a Yellow Crowned Amazon? AND is it possible for there to be a hybrid of the two?

Thank you in advance for any information :)

One has yellow on his nape and the other thinks he is a King? Oh, wait! Don't ALL amazons think they are rulers of all they survey? :D

A yellow crown has yellow on the top of it's head, while the nape has the yellow on the back of it's neck (the nape).

I suppose if the 2 were to breed, you might end up with a bird that looks like a DYH with a dark beak:D
