Difference between Yellow Nape & Yellow Crowned

[BirdyMomma]

Hello Amazonians!

Could anyone here please inform me how (if possible) to tell the difference between a Yellow Nape, and a Yellow Crowned Amazon? AND is it possible for there to be a hybrid of the two?

Thank you in advance for any information

One has yellow on his nape and the other thinks he is a King? Oh, wait! Don't ALL amazons think they are rulers of all they survey?

Here is info on Yellow Naped Amazons:

Yellow-naped Amazon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yellow-naped Amazon Parrots, Amazona auropalliata

Here is info regarding Yellow Crowned

Yellow-crowned Amazon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yellow-crowned or Yellow-fronted Amazon Parrot (Amazona ocrocephala)

And yes, it's entire possible for the 2 of them to breed and produce offspring.

A yellow crown has yellow on the top of it's head, while the nape has the yellow on the back of it's neck (the nape).

I suppose if the 2 were to breed, you might end up with a bird that looks like a DYH with a dark beak
