Hello, all!

Hi, everyone! I've been a lurker here for awhile and have really enjoyed and benefited from so many threads. Thank you all for sharing your experience and knowledge.

I've had quite a bit of experience with young parrots in the past, having been a hand-feeder, baby trainer, and flight instructor for a now defunct pet shop that was actually doing it right (which turns out to be unprofitable). Now I foster birds for a rescue organization - teaching basic manners, improving diet, and screening/training potential adopters before slowly acclimating the birds to a new home.

My newest foster is an Amazon - a DYH, I believe. She has less yellow than those I've seen before, so I'm not 100% sure... it's possible she's a hybrid.

DYH Amazons, as a group, tend to have far less variation Parrot to Parrot. Maybe better to say, that if the Amazon you have has far less yellow then you have seen, its likely a Yellow-Crowned Amazons. Also, DYH Amazons have neutral colored (very light pink to no color) as part of their beak and nails. What color are your Amazons Beak and nails?
