What species?

Is that a young double yellow headed amazon???

 

[henpecked]

I'm not saying,, at least not yet,LOL.

 

[Merlee]

I think an extremely well colored yellow nape or it's a hybrid with a yellow nape as one of its parents. Double yellow heads have bone colored beaks.

Isn't that Jake? I had to look elsewhere on the forum for a clue.

 

[JerseyWendy]

Amazona parvipes????

GORGEOUS, gorgeous bird!!!!!

 

[MikeyTN]

Oh geeze just leave us hanging....I was thinking of a hybrid as well but I don't know a whole lot about Amazons.....

 

[JerseyWendy]

My first guess is Yellow Nape (the Parvipes), my second guess would be a hybrid between a Yellow Front and Yellow Nape.

 

[Merlee]

I had to look at my yellow nape and found a bit of blue on his forehead, but not as much as the one pictured, but then mine is not as old either.

since I don't know Amazons very well, I looked it up on Wiki....
my guess is what Wendy said first...Yellow-naped amazon

Yellow-naped Amazon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Merlee]

Isn't this the same bird?

[ParkersMom]

The cute one for course...lol
I vote yellow nape double yellow head hybrid

 

[JerseyWendy]

Yes, Denise....it is.

The Captain has our panties all in a bunch. BHAHAHAHAH!!

No hybrid there at all.

That is THE most gorgeous Jakie-Poo.

 

[Merlee]

Yes, Jakie-poo is gorgeous. I hope my Rudy looks like that in the future.

How old is Jake now?

Do I win a prize?

 

[Blueridge]

I think it's a cockatiel.

I'm sorry, i was looking pictures of jakiepoo to put on Christmas Tree decorations and thought i'd mess with ya'll. Yes Merlee that's my jake, she's almost 44 now and she's an adult parvipes nape. Gorgeous isn't she? She's the only parvipes in our flock and she's so differently colored than the other napes. She get's yellower with every molt. You can't really tell but the yellow is starting right on down her back and almost all the way around her neck.

 

[MikeyTN]

Got me all going and wondering....lol

I am still learning about yellow napes because most of the birds I have seen are younger than mine, including on the internet. My question is, what will a yellow nape look like in its senior years? Yours is the oldest one I have seen. Is Jake's coloring typical of a mature yellow nape or has she just been blessed?

Did I win anything? Huh? Huh? hahaha!

How can you be putting up a Christmas tree already? You have gone over to the Dark Side. Thanksgiving hasn't even passed yet.

 

[MikeyTN]

I've been watching too much late night Hallmark channel and about Christmas. Its getting me inspired to yank out the Christmas tree now....lol
