SO there seems to be a lot of variation on how much blue there is on Blue Front Amazons. From just a little line of blue to almost a full blue head.
Lets see your Blue Front Amazon is all their BLUE glory!

In case this it too vague, please post pics of your BFA! C'mon Jim, show Amy off! All you other BFA owners too!

1 BFA- Kiwi. Hatch circa 98', forever home with us Dec. 08'
Here was demon-Kiwi soon after we got him, aprx. age 10. He had hardly any blue at all:

Here he is recently, aprx. age 18. Still not much, but I think he has definitely grown in a little more blue in the (coming up on) 8 years since we brought him home!:

This is Millie about 2 months before we brought her home. She was about 7 weeks old.

This is her at about 6 months old.

And this was just recently.

I will see if I can one from today but not yet as she is still in bed it's only 6am here.

She also has a very bluish sheen to all her front and she also as a very blue section around her vent. I think the reason she has a lot more blue is the species of blue front she is.

Coz he/she is/was just a whipper-snapper when those pictures were taken..like an AG..dark when young..brighter/yellow when they mature.

That's very interesting I've seen the African greys as baby's but never a zon I guess.

Millie's eyes were very dark when she was a baby. She is nearly 2 years old now and her eyes are getting more orange as the months go on. They are by no means as orange as Kiwis yet. But she is getting there.

Taken this morning.

This isn't mine but I was tempted to buy him a while back. I still kind of wish I did, but I wanted to hold out to find myself a macaw.

Favorite.

Baby bird pic.

Ever.



I must admit Stephen and Terry. I just love this pic. She was the cutest baby ever. All her baby pics are like this one. I am not bias in anyway though. :D

She has definitely now gained her Amazon attitude. Very vocal and voices her opinions.
