name of my amazon parrot

Hi everyone
Could someone please tell me the scientific name of my beautiful amazon parrot?
He is quite at home but tend to be loud outside when I take him for a walk .he is young only 8 months old thanks

Welcome to the forum. Not 100 percent sure but appears to be young Yellow Crown or hybrid YCA.

I would agree.

By the way, what are the Letters and/or Numbers on his leg band?

Also, what part of the country or world are you from?

Please take the time and read the first thread on the Amazon Forum, you will find that it will be very helpful for both you and your Amazons!

Hello and welcome! Your baby is beautiful

I agree with henpecked on species. Such a sweet looking little zon, and definately has that 'baby' look still. Very cute!

Could it not be a young orange wing?
the yellow marking on the head reminds me of my orange wing.
texsize.

All kinds of baby body and feathering still going on. That's why I asked for the information on the band. Some include hatch month and year.

Thank-you for your replies.

Amazon plumage continues to change over the first five years, some a little faster others a little slower. Rarely are these changes huge, but they are enough that it can be difficult to define a few from each other while they are still young. As a result, unless the parents are known (Breeder specifics the linage of the baby Amazon), this group of Amazons are defined once they have adult plumage. In addition, humans have created 'hybrid' Amazons by mixing parents of different linage, which only adds to the problem.

IF, you have a Yellow-Crowned Amazon its 'scientific' name would be: Amazona - Ochrocephala. Web search: Yellow-Crowned Amazon for more detailed information.

The band information and the age you provided confirms its age. Also, the band is not from the Americas'. So I am guessing that the Breeder is from your region. If you purchased your baby from the Breeder, they will be able to provide conformation for you. If you purchased your baby from a Broker or a Pet Shop, and since they had provided you with its age, they 'may' be able to conform also.

There is a wealth of information available in the current and past Posts on the Amazon Forum. Also, please read the first thread on the Amazon Forum: Amazon Body Language. It will be very helpful.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Amazons!
