Yellow Naped classification

[SAUD]

Hello

Am wondering how to classify my Yellow Naped Amazon ?


Amazon ochrocephala auropalliata yellow nap

Auropalliata parvipes

Auropalliata caribae


This is my sweetheart ,,,

What a beautiful bird! Is he/she a juvenile or an adult? That does make a difference in trying to classify. You may find some of the following information helpful as it explains in better detail the classification criteria for different subspecies:

Yellow Naped Amazon..
Amazon Parrots, Part 1

BEAUTIFUL girl you got there!!!

To my 'untrained' eyes she looks like Auropalliata parvipes

I believe her to be the parvipes due to beak color and I see some red feathers in the bend of her wing.

Of course it's also entirely possible that she is a hybrid.

IMO too young to guess , but i think A. o. auropalliata. Really need bird in hand to be sure.

Thank you for your words , I think all Yellow Naped have the same beak color , is mine different ?

In cites certificate they wrote in the scientific name ( amazona auropalliata ) but I think this is not the classification

 

[henpecked]

Why would you think she's not??? IMO she has large feet, at 11 months does she weigh over 500 grams,IMO beak color means little w/YNA ( i have about 1dozen of several subspecies YNA and beaks look alike). I think the CITIES Cert is right. But , like I said, really need the" bird in hand".

BTW,, like Ms jerseywendy said, hybrids are very common. I would think hybrids are as common ,if not more so, than "pure subspecies". As far as A. o. Auropalliata on the Certificate , that's a common generic name , they are by far the most common subspecies.

if i'm not being too forward,,,, how many USD was that bird in Qatar?? 10,000 /15,000 i have tried several times to get CITIES permits to send zons to Qatar. You should just send your jet, LOL.

If you read the first link Kiwibird gave you, it explains the difference between the sub-species perfectly, including the color differences in the beaks.

Here is the link again:

Sorry for late

hhhhh this bird in Qatar is 5700 USD , if you wanna send some zons to Qatar , here you can ask the price you want but you have to bring something Unique

Ok ,,, now tell me what do you think about my new bird :21:

Biting time

Very beautiful birds . Welcome to the forums. Here a some pictures of my two girls what have you named your pets? They re lovely

Hey SAUD, appears to be young (1 yr old) DYH , or could be older pan amazon. Most likely young Double Yellow Head. How much does it weigh? How old? is that black mark on upper mandible? (common in panamas)

 

[JerseyWendy]

You've got the Amazon fever, hey?

Your new one looks like a young Double Yellow Head to me.

Yes it's 8 Months DYH but do you think it cloud be Magna ? Or something else ?

You are right it is , but still waiting for the cites cert maybe I'll get it tomorrow but give me your review if it magna or something else

You have a so nice birds , are they Blue fronted & Yellow Crown ? :21:

Looking at the extensive red already showing on the wing coverts, it's entirely possible that you have a Magna there. Only time will tell, as they don't fully color up until they are 5+ years old.

Here are some photos of my Magna when he was just under 1 year.

 

[SAUD]

@JerseyWendy But what the differences between Magna and others DYH ? is there more abilities in talking or doing funny things ?

No, the only difference is coloration, nothing else.

 

[SAUD]

I've got a call from the Genetic Lab today , I'll get the DNA result after 4 days

What do you think ??? Male Or Female ???

 

[henpecked]

I vote female. (rounded look to head shape).
