As part of today's road trip with little traffic and not much else happening. I began thinking about the different ranges that the different Amazon Species exist within. One of the Books that I have been reading (last night), presented a photo of each of the Amazons and their ranges. What caught my eye was that their are groupings around Beak Coloration. With the majority sporting dark Beaks another group sporting lighter 'corn' color Beaks. A group that sported a variation between those two, i.e. their Beaks contained both colors. Then there was this other group that had a very light color almost clear Beak.
In more closely looking at this specific species, this very light colored Beak was also noted as the color of their toe nails. With even closer inspection, I noted that the eyelashes are very light white, but leaning toward clear.
So, Clear Beak tip with a light pink tone as the Beak becomes larger and closer to the face. Clear Toe nail tips with a light pink/white color as it becomes larger and closer to the foot. And lastly, Clear to white eyelashes.
Sure sounds like Albino traits to me!
Are Double Yellow-Headed Amazons' Albinos?
By the way, has anyone else noticed that 'Spiders' are running all over the Parrot Forums? Seems that any 'Parrot' based Web Search now presents Threads and Posts from this Forum!!! As one of our member's clearly pointed out to another; You're Posts are forever! And, with the clamoring of 'Spiders' it sure is true!
