I concur with Gail, yes indeed Amanda, Milli is certainly one BEAUTIFUL Blue Front
I think that is the most blue I have ever seen also.

Here's Mav at 5 months old:

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.

First of all, beautiful baby.
Kind of old thread, but wondering which subspecies this would be considered, if possible to tell, or is it most likely a mix of the 3(?).
I saw SailBoat has a thread about the BF subspecies - if you see this and want to chime in please do! Or if anyone else has any knowledge on this.

One of the more difficult members of the 'Family Amazon' too define and separation between its known members is the Blue-Fronted Amazons. In their natural ranges, this is easier, since there are defined and known over-laps of those specific ranges. At present, there are five (5) defined members.

Age is critical, since this group of Amazons vary largely between Youth and Adulthood in their presentation (coloration) over a very wide areas of their head, neck, body, and flight feathers. This transition between Baby and Adult can take 5 to 8 years to set in place with minor changes take even longer. In and around the 5 year point, the physical dimensions of the Blue-Fronted Amazon will allow reasonable placement within one of three general family discriptions.

Once, the Blue-Fronted Amazon is of age, the process of defining its place in this large family is to take each classification and line by line define, which is found as part of this specific Amazon and what is not. After completing each, the one that has the greatest number of matches is the most likely.

So Millie is Amazona aestiva. This is the main species of blue front they have in Australia.
